New method for the extrapolation of finite-size data to infinite volume

Abstract

We present a simple and powerful method for extrapolating finite-volume Monte Carlo data to infinite volume based on finite-size-scaling theory. We discuss carefully its systematic and statistical errors, and we illustrate it using three examples: the two-dimensional three-state Potts antiferromagnet on the square lattice, and the two-dimensional O(3) and O({infinity}) {sigma}-models. In favorable cases it is possible to obtain reliable extrapolations (errors of a few percent) even when the correlation length is 1000 times larger than the lattice. ((orig.)).
