Ferromagnetic Potts model in a magnetic field: Finite lattice extrapolation of the (1+1)-dimensional Hamiltonian

Abstract

The (1+1)-dimensional Hamiltonian q-state ferromagnetic Potts model in an external magnetic field H is studied using finite lattice extrapolation techniques. The possible phases and their boundaries are determined from the ground state energy and the gap in the excitation energy, for arbitrary values of q and both for positive and negative field. We found that, for H positive, there is a critical value q{sub c}, where a first order transition line appears for q>q{sub c}, starting at the zero field transition point and terminating at a critical point in (h/{lambda}, H/{lambda}) plane, which separates the disordered phase and the ordered phase in the direction of H. For h negative a critical transition line separating the disordered phase and the others (q-1) ordered phases becomes first order for q>q{sub c}. (author). 12 refs, 2 figs.
