Recent rigorous results on finite size effects for lattice models are reviewed. We consider symmetric and asymmetric first-order phase transitions in cubic and cylindrical geometries and discuss the determination of transition points from finite size data.
First order quantum phase transitions besides their general interest are clearly relevant to the study of heavy fermions and magnetic transition metal compounds. Recent results show that in many systems belonging to these classes of materials, the magnetic transition changes from second order to fir
