Abstract

We use the technique of large-q expansion to investigate the phase diagram of the q-state Potts model in an applied field favoring order in one state. The method is valid for any number of dimensions. We find that for q>q/sub C/ (d) there is a first-order phase boundary starting at the zero-field transition point and terminating in a critical point in the interior of the hT plane. Using Pade approximants we obtain for d = 2 the shape and location of this line for various values of q. We also develop a lattice-gas expansion for any d which enables us, in the limit of large but finite q, to map the problem into an equivalent Ising expansion and thus find the exact location and nature of the critical point in this limit.

Transfer matrix computation of critical polynomials for two-dimensional Potts models

Journal Article Jacobsen, Jesper Lykke ; Scullard, Christian R. - Journal of Physics. A, Mathematical and Theoretical (Online)

We showed, In our previous work, that critical manifolds of the q-state Potts model can be studied by means of a graph polynomial P _B(q, v), henceforth referred to as the critical polynomial. This polynomial may be defined on any periodic two-dimensional lattice. It depends on a finite subgraph B, called the basis, and the manner in which B is tiled to construct the lattice. The real roots v = e ^K — 1 of P _B(q, v) either give the exact critical points for the lattice, or provide approximations that, in principle, can be made arbitrarily accurate by increasingmore »« less

A numerical test of KPZ scaling; Potts models coupled to two-dimensional quantum gravity

Journal Article Baillie, C F ; Johnston, D A - International Journal of Modern Physics A; (United States)

In this paper, the authors perform Monte-Carlo simulations using the Wolff cluster algorithm of the q = 2 (Ising), 3, 4 and q = 10 Potts models on dynamical phi-cubed graphs of spherical topology with up to 5000 nodes. The authors find that the measured critical exponents are in reasonable agreement with those from the exact solution of the Ising model and with those calculated from KPZ scaling for q = 3, 4 where no exact solution is available. Using Binder's cumulant, the authors find that the q = 10 Potts model displays a first order phase transition on amore »« less

Ground-state entropy of the Potts antiferromagnet with next-nearest-neighbor spin-spin couplings on strips of the square lattice

Journal Article Chang, Shu-Chiuan ; Shrock, Robert - Physical Review E

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=2more »« less

Series analysis of Q-state checkerboard Potts models

Journal Article Hansel, D ; Maillard, J M - Int. J. Mod. Phys. B; (United States)

The series analysis of the low temperature expansion of the checkerboard q-state Potts model in a magnetic field initiated in two previous papers is continued. In particular algebraic varieties of the parameter space (corresponding or generalizing the so-called disorder solutions), the checkerboard Potts model and its Bethe approximation are indistinguishable as far as one is concerned with the partition function and its first order derivatives. The difference between the two models occurs for higher order derivatives. In particular one gives the exact expression of the (low temperature expansion of the) susceptibility of the checkerboard Ising model in zero magnetic fieldmore » on one of these varieties.« less

Phase diagram of the triangular-lattice Potts antiferromagnet

Journal Article Jacobsen, Jesper Lykke ; Salas, Jesus ; Scullard, Christian R. - Journal of Physics. A, Mathematical and Theoretical

Here, we study the phase diagram of the triangular-lattice Q-state Potts model in the real $(Q, v)$ -plane, where $$v={\rm e}^J-1$$ is the temperature variable. Our first goal is to provide an obviously missing feature of this diagram: the position of the antiferromagnetic critical curve. This curve turns out to possess a bifurcation point with two branches emerging from it, entailing important consequences for the global phase diagram. We have obtained accurate numerical estimates for the position of this curve by combining the transfer-matrix approach for strip graphs with toroidal boundary conditions and the recent method of critical polynomials.
