High-precision Monte Carlo study of the three-dimensional XY model on GPU

Abstract

We perform large-scale Monte Carlo simulations of the classical XY model on a three-dimensional $L\times L \times L$ cubic lattice using the graphics processing unit (GPU). By the combination of Metropolis single-spin flip, over-relaxation and parallel-tempering methods, we simulate systems up to L=160. Performing the finite-size scaling analysis, we obtain estimates of the critical exponents for the three-dimensional XY universality class: $α=-0.01293(48)$ and $ν=0.67098(16)$. Our estimate for the correlation-length exponent $ν$, in contrast to previous theoretical estimates, agrees with the most recent experimental estimate $ν_{\rm exp}=0.6709(1)$ at the superfluid transition of $^4$He in a microgravity environment.

Theoretical estimates of the critical exponents of the superfluid transition in He4 by lattice methods

We improve the theoretical estimates of the critical exponents for the three-dimensional $XY$ universality class that apply to the superfluid transition in $^{4}\mathrm{He}$ along the $\ensuremath{\lambda}$ line of its phase diagram. We obtain the estimates $\ensuremath{\alpha}=\ensuremath{-}0.0151(3)$, $\ensuremath{\nu}=0.6717(1)$, $\ensuremath{\eta}=0.0381(2)$, $\ensuremath{\gamma}=1.3178(2)$, $\ensuremath{\beta}=0.3486(1)$, and $\ensuremath{\delta}=4.780(1)$. Our results are obtained by finite-size scaling analyses of high-statistics Monte Carlo simulations up to lattice size $L=128$ and resummations of 22nd-order high-temperature expansions of two improved models with suppressed leading scaling corrections. We note that our result for the specific-heat exponent $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ disagrees with the most recent experimental estimate $\ensuremath{\alpha}=\ensuremath{-}0.0127(3)$ at the superfluid transition of $^{4}\mathrm{He}$ in a microgravity environment.

High-precision Monte Carlo study of the 3DXY-universality class

M Hasenbusch, T Török

We present a Monte Carlo study of the two-component 4 model on the simple cubic lattice in three dimensions. By suitable tuning of the coupling constant, , we eliminate leading-order corrections to scaling. High-statistics simulations using finite-size scaling techniques yield = 0.6723(3)[8] and = 0.0381(2)[2], where the statistical and systematical errors are given in the first and second bracket, respectively. These results are more precise than any previous theoretical estimate of the critical exponents for the 3D XY universality class.

Critical behaviour of the three-dimensional XY universality class

Campostrini M, Hasenbusch M, Pelissetto A +2 more

We improve the theoretical estimates of the critical exponents for the three-dimensional XY universality class. We fine alpha=-0.0146(8), gamma =1.3177(5), nu =0.671 55(27), eta =0.0380(4), beta =0.3485(2), and delta =4.780(2). We observe a discrepancy with the most recent experimental estimate of alpha; this discrepancy calls for further theoretical and experimental investigations. Our results are obtained by combining Monte Carlo simulations based on finite-size scaling methods, and high-temperature expansions. Two improved models (with suppressed leading scaling corrections) are selected by Monte Carlo computation. The critical exponents are computed from high-temperature expansions specialized to these improved models. By the same technique we determine the coefficients of the small-magnetization expansion of the equation of state. This expansion is extended analytically by means of approximate parametric representations, obtaining the equation of state in the whole critical region. We also determine the specific-heat amplitude ratio.

Monte Carlo study of an improved clock model in three dimensions

Martin Hasenbusch B

We study a generalized clock model on the simple cubic lattice. The parameter of the model can be tuned such that the amplitude of the leading correction to scaling vanishes. In the main part of the study, we simulate the model with ${Z}_{8}$ symmetry. At the transition, with increasing length scale, $O(2)$ symmetry emerges. We perform Monte Carlo simulations using a hybrid of local Metropolis and cluster algorithms of lattices with a linear size up to $L=512$. The field variable requires less memory and the updates are faster than for a model with $O(2)$ symmetry at the microscopic level. Our finite-size scaling analysis yields accurate estimates for the critical exponents of the three-dimensional $XY$-universality class. In particular, we get $\ensuremath{\eta}=0.03810(8),\ensuremath{\nu}=0.67169(7)$, and $\ensuremath{\omega}=0.789(4)$. Furthermore, we obtain estimates for fixed point values of phenomenological couplings and critical temperatures.

Critical properties of the three-dimensional XY model in large-scale Monte-Carlo simulations

Inho Jeon, Jong-Geun Shin, Min-Chul Cha

The critical properties of the three-dimensional XY model are studied in large-scale Monte-Carlo simulations by using a worm algorithm for the integer-current representation of the model. In large systems, singular behavior of the internal energy around the critical point is observed, and the finite-size scaling analyses of the superfluid stiffness lead us to find the critical inverse temperature K c = 0.45416(1) and the correlation length critical exponent ν = 0.6708(5).
