We use the higher-order tensor renormalization group method to study the two-dimensional generalized XY model that admits integer and half-integer vortices. This model is the deformation of the classical XY model and has a rich phase structure consisting of nematic, ferromagnetic, and disordered phases and three transition lines belonging to the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless and Ising class. We explore the model for a wide range of temperatures, T , and the deformation parameter, Δ , and compute specific heat along with integer and half-integer magnetic susceptibility, finding both Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless-like and Ising-like transitions and the region where they meet.

We study phase transitions and thermodynamic properties in the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic Ising model with next-nearest-neighbor interaction on a Kagomé lattice by Monte Carlo simulations. A histogram data analysis shows that a second-order transition occurs in the model. From the analysis of obtained data, we can assume that next-nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic interactions in two-dimensional antiferromagnetic Ising model on a Kagomé lattice excite the occurrence of a second-order transition and unusual behavior of thermodynamic properties on the temperature dependence.
We study the free energy of the classical square-lattice Ising model in a uniform real magnetic field
h, for which no exact solution is known. We first conjecture a closed-form expression built from the one-dimensional Ising chain and Onsager's hypergeometric solution. Comparing with high-precision tensor renormalization group (TRG) data, we find that it deviates by up to
2.6%, has no spontaneous magnetization, and gives an effective critical-isotherm exponent
δ→1. However, using the Lee--Yang circle theorem, we show that the exact free energy is a superposition of one-dimensional Ising chains in the same field, weighted by a temperature-dependent (normalized, but not always positive) distribution of squared Lee--Yang gaps, of which our first expression is a single-chain approximation. Exact results (Onsager, Yang, the strong-field expansion and the Lee--Yang solution at
βh=iπ/2) become sum rules for this distribution. We propose a simple form for it, fixed by Onsager's free energy and the exact strong-field limit without any fit to numerical data. This \emph{improved} conjecture agrees with TRG to
0.15% for all
β and
h, reproduces Yang's spontaneous magnetization exactly, has a positive specific heat, and yields the critical isotherm
M∝h1/δ with
δ=15.2 and amplitude
1.055, compared with the exact
δ=15 and
1.059. A refined form, which builds in additional input from Ising field theory (including the exact critical isotherm,
δ=15) and a few constants adjusted to transfer-matrix and TRG data, matches the TRG free energy to
4×10−5.
We obtain phase diagrams of a spin-3/2 Ising model on a square lattice by using a corner transfer matrix renormalization group method. We find that three phases appear in the phase diagrams; they are the ferromagnetic(FM) phase, the paramagnetic(PM) phase and a ferrimagnetic(FI) phase. It turns out that a tricritical point appears in a region of space spanned by parameters of coupling constants and the temperature. We estimate values of critical exponent ν and α at a transition temperature between the FM phase and the PM phase, at that between the FI phase and the FM phase, and also at that between the FI phase and the PM phase, by using the finite size scaling analysis.
We study a triangular Ising model subject to nearest-neighbor pair interactions
K, an external magnetic field
H, and triangular three-spin interactions
P.
K>0(<0) corresponds to ferromagnetic (antiferromagnetic) coupling. The phase diagram and thermodynamics are invariant under $(K,H,P)\ensuremath{\leftrightarrow}(K,\ensuremath{-}H,\ensuremath{-}P)$. A simple position-space renormalization group is formulated, based on three interpenetrating three-spin cells, which preserves the three-sublattice symmetry of the antiferromagnetic phase. The complete (
K,H,P) phase diagram consists of five interconnecting transition surfaces (two second-order and three first-order), which bound the four single-phase regions (\ensuremath{\uparrow}\ensuremath{\uparrow}\ensuremath{\uparrow}, \ensuremath{\uparrow}\ensuremath{\uparrow}\ensuremath{\downarrow}, \ensuremath{\uparrow}\ensuremath{\downarrow}\ensuremath{\downarrow}, and \ensuremath{\downarrow}\ensuremath{\downarrow}\ensuremath{\downarrow}). The edges of these surfaces form loci of second-order, critical-endpoint, and Baxter-Wu transitions. When
P=0, this system is known to provide a useful model of the order-disorder transition in monolayer films adsorbed on a hexagonal substrate. Calculation of the magnetization
M(K,H) and heat capacity
cM(K,H) of the Ising model allows quantitative comparison with experimental data for helium on graphite. The observed dependence
Tc(n) of the transition temperature on coverage is well fit with a single effective antiferromagnetic pair interaction. The corresponding calculated heat capacities (no additional adjustable parameters) are in remarkable agreement with experimental data near and below
Tc.
The Blume-Caple model on the triangular lattice is considered in this paper. Using the (perturbative) real-space renormalization group (RSRG) technique we analytically obtain the running of the parameters of the model, i.e., the exchange integral J and the crystal field Δ. The observations show that the first-order calculations are insufficient to capture the tricritical phenomena, and the RG analysis based on second-order expansion of the partition function show qualitative agreement with the previous works. This reveals that the second-order perturbation works appropriately, to obtain the qualitative features of the phase diagram of the model, e.g., a tricritical point which is unstable towards the Ising critical point from one side (which forms the line of second order, separating the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases) and the critical point at and from the other side (which forms the line of first-order transition separating ferromagnetic and zero state phases). This analysis shows also that there is another unstable critical point at , with the RG eigenvalue in the Δ-direction (towards S = 0 zero state and paramagnetic phases).
