Abstract

We investigate the critical properties of two-dimensional Z(N) vector models for N larger than 4. In particular, critical points of the two phase transitions are located and some critical indices are determined. We study also the behavior of the helicity modulus and the dependence of the critical points on N.

Phase transitions in two-dimensional Z(N) vector models for N>4

Oleg Borisenko, V. Chelnokov, Gennaro Cortese +3 more

We investigate both analytically and numerically the renormalization group equations in two-dimensional (2D) Z(N) vector models. The position of the critical points of the two phase transitions for N>4 is established and the critical index ν is computed. For N=7 and 17 the critical points are located by Monte Carlo simulations, and some of the corresponding critical indices are determined. The behavior of the helicity modulus is studied for N=5, 7, and 17. Using these and other available Monte Carlo data we discuss the scaling of the critical points with N and some other open theoretical problems.

Numerical study of the phase transitions in the two-dimensional Z(5) vector model

Oleg Borisenko, Gennaro Cortese, Roberto Fiore A +2 more

We investigate the critical properties of the two-dimensional Z(5) vector model. For this purpose, we propose a cluster algorithm, valid for Z(N) models with odd values of N. The two-dimensional Z(5) vector model is conjectured to exhibit two phase transitions with a massless intermediate phase. We locate the position of the critical points and study the critical behavior across both phase transitions in details. In particular, we determine various critical indices and compare the results with analytical predictions.

Critical properties of the 2D Z(5) vector model

Oleg Borisenko, Gennaro Cortese, Roberto Fiore A +2 more

The two-dimensional Z(5) vector model is investigated through the determination of critical points and one critical index. To this purpose a new cluster algorithm has been developed valid for 2D Z(N) models with odd values of N. Results are compared with analytical predictions.

Critical behavior of a random m-vector model

G. Grinstein

The critical behavior of an m‐vector model with random impurities is investigated through the use of renormalization group techniques near four dimensions. For almost all values of m, this disordered model has two stable fixed points and a single nontrivialy unstable fixed point. The model exhibits sharp phase transitions with exponents which do not depend continuously on the concentration of impurities. The familiar m‐component fixed point, which is normally assumed to characterize the critical behavior of the pure m‐vector model, is unstable whenever m%4.

Phase Transitions in Two-Dimensional Systems

Eytan Domany, Eberhard K. Riedel

Two recently studied experimental systems are shown to constitute realizations of two-dimensional anisotropic $N$-vector models. Along with a renormalization-group treatment of a general Hamiltonian encompassing these models, we discuss new kinds of multicritical points, nonuniversal critical behavior, and experiments for further study of these systems.
