Quantum multicriticality

This thesis documents a theoretical investigation into quantum multicritical points (QMCPs), where a system near zero temperature is unstable towards two distinct ordered phases. We focus on quantum multicritical points in metallic systems, where the two ordered phases are both magnetic, but with di...
