abstract
We show there exist UV-complete field-theoretic models in general dimension, including $2+1$, with the spontaneous breaking of a global symmetry, which persists to the arbitrarily high temperatures. Our example is a conformal vector model with the $O(N)\times \mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry at zero temperature. Using conformal perturbation theory we establish $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry is broken at finite temperature for $N>10$. Similar to recent constructions, in the infinite $N$ limit our model has a non-trivial conformal manifold, a moduli space of vacua, which gets deformed at finite temperature. Furthermore, in this regime the model admits a persistent breaking of $O(N)$ in $2+1$ dimensions, therefore providing another example where the Coleman-Hohenberg-Mermin-Wagner theorem can be bypassed.

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.

Instability of Baryonic Black Branes
Baryonic black branes in the conifold gauge theory are shown to be dynamically unstable below T/µ_B = 0.2770(5), with an accompanying subdominant ordered phase extending to high temperatures.

The ordered phase of charged N=4 SYM plasma
A new ordered phase of charged N=4 SYM plasma, with a dimension-2 condensate O2 proportional to T^2 at high temperature, is constructed holographically and dominates the microcanonical ensemble.
