abstract
We consider a UV-complete field-theoretic model in general dimensions, including $d=2+1$, that exhibits spontaneous breaking of continuous symmetry, persisting to arbitrarily large temperatures. Our model consists of two copies of the long-range vector models, with $O(m)$ and $O(N-m)$ global symmetry groups, perturbed by double-trace operators. Using conformal perturbation theory we find weakly-coupled IR fixed points for $N\geq 6$ that reveal a spontaneous breaking of global symmetry. Namely, at finite temperature the lower rank group is broken, with the pattern persisting at all temperatures due to scale-invariance. We provide evidence that the models in question are unitary and invariant under full conformal symmetry. Our work generalizes recent results, which considered the particular case of $m=1$ and reported persistent breaking of the discrete $\mathbb{Z}_2=O(1)$. Furthermore, we show that this model exhibits a continuous family of weakly interacting field theories at finite $N$.

Proof of entropic order in Generalized Ising Models
Rigorous proof establishes entropic order in generalized Ising models for p ≥ 1 and demonstrates they solve the NP-hard maximum independent set problem, leading to entropic glass phases.

Thermal Order in the Biconical Model
Using the 1/N expansion, the authors show that the O(N)×Z2 biconical model in 3≤d<4 has a critical fixed point whose Z2 symmetry remains spontaneously broken at arbitrarily high temperature for large finite N.
