Ground-state entropy of the Potts antiferromagnet with next-nearest-neighbor spin-spin couplings on strips of the square lattice
Abstract
We present exact calculations of the zero-temperature partition function (chromatic polynomial) and W(q), the exponent of the ground-state entropy, for the q-state Potts antiferromagnet with next-nearest-neighbor spin-spin couplings on square lattice strips, of width L{sub y}=3 and L{sub y}=4 vertices and arbitrarily great length L{sub x} vertices, with both free and periodic boundary conditions. The resultant values of W for a range of physical q values are compared with each other and with the values for the full two-dimensional lattice. These results give insight into the effect of such nonnearest-neighbor couplings on the ground-state entropy. We show that the q=2 (Ising) and q=4 Potts antiferromagnets have zero-temperature critical points on the L{sub x}{yields}{infinity} limits of the strips that we study. With the generalization of q from Z{sub +} to C, we determine the analytic structure of W(q) in the q plane for the various cases.
