Abstract

Thanks to the impressive progress of conformal bootstrap methods we have now very precise estimates of both scaling dimensions and operator product expansion coefficients for several 3D universality classes. We show how to use this information to obtain similarly precise estimates for off-critical correlators using conformal perturbation. We discuss in particular the $⟨\ensuremath{\sigma}(r)\ensuremath{\sigma}(0)⟩$, $⟨\ensuremath{\epsilon}(r)\ensuremath{\epsilon}(0)⟩$ and $⟨\ensuremath{\sigma}(r)\ensuremath{\epsilon}(0)⟩$ two-point functions in the high and low temperature regimes of the 3D Ising model and evaluate the leading and next to leading terms in the $s={\mathrm{tr}}^{{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}_{t}}$ expansion, where $t$ is the reduced temperature. Our results for $⟨\ensuremath{\sigma}(r)\ensuremath{\sigma}(0)⟩$ agree both with Monte Carlo simulations and with a set of experimental estimates of the critical scattering function.

Operator product expansion coefficients of the 3D Ising model with a trapping potential

Gianluca Costagliola

Recently the operator product expansion coefficients of the 3D Ising model universality class have been calculated by studying via Monte Carlo simulation the two-point functions perturbed from the critical point with a relevant field. We show that this method can be applied also when the perturbation is performed with a relevant field coupled to a nonuniform potential acting as a trap. This setting is described by the trap size scaling ansatz, which can be combined with the general framework of the conformal perturbation in order to write down the correlators $⟨\ensuremath{\sigma}(\mathbf{r})\ensuremath{\sigma}(0)⟩$, $⟨\ensuremath{\sigma}(\mathbf{r})\ensuremath{\epsilon}(0)⟩$ and $⟨\ensuremath{\epsilon}(\mathbf{r})\ensuremath{\epsilon}(0)⟩$, from which the operator product expansion coefficients can be estimated. We find ${C}_{\ensuremath{\sigma}\ensuremath{\epsilon}}^{\ensuremath{\sigma}}=1.051(3)$, in agreement with the results already known in the literature, and ${C}_{\ensuremath{\epsilon}\ensuremath{\epsilon}}^{\ensuremath{\epsilon}}=1.32(15)$, confirming and improving the previous estimate obtained in the uniform perturbation case.

Boundary operator product expansion coefficients of the three-dimensional Ising universality class

Dorian Przetakiewicz, Stefan Weßel, Francesco Parisen Toldin

Recent advances in conformal field theory and critical phenomena have focused on the characterization of boundary or defects in a conformally invariant system. In this Letter, we study the critical behavior of the three-dimensional Ising universality class in the presence of a surface, realizing the ordinary, the special, and the normal universality classes. By combining high-precision Monte Carlo simulations of an improved model, where leading scaling corrections are suppressed, with a finite-size scaling analysis informed by conformal field theory, we determine unbiased, accurate estimates of universal boundary operator product expansion coefficients of experimental relevance. Furthermore, we improve the value of the scaling dimension of the surface field at the special transition by the estimate Δ ̂ σ = 0.3531 ( 3 ) .

Two- and three-point functions at criticality: Monte Carlo simulations of the improved three-dimensional Blume-Capel model

Martin Hasenbusch B

We compute two- and three-point functions at criticality for the three-dimensional Ising universality class. To this end, we simulate the improved Blume-Capel model at the critical temperature on lattices of a linear size up to $L=1600$. As a check, also simulations of the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Ising model are performed. We find ${f}_{\ensuremath{\sigma}\ensuremath{\sigma}\ensuremath{\epsilon}}=1.051(1)$ and ${f}_{\ensuremath{\epsilon}\ensuremath{\epsilon}\ensuremath{\epsilon}}=1.533(5)$ for operator product expansion coefficients. These results are consistent with but less precise than those recently obtained by using the bootstrap method. An important ingredient in our simulations is a variance reduced estimator of $N$-point functions. Finite size corrections vanish with ${L}^{\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}_{\ensuremath{\epsilon}}}$, where $L$ is the linear size of the lattice and ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}_{\ensuremath{\epsilon}}$ is the scaling dimension of the leading ${Z}_{2}$-even scalar $\ensuremath{\epsilon}$.

The random-bond Ising model in 2.01 and 3 dimensions

Zohar Komargodski, David Simmons-Duffin

Abstract We consider the Ising model between 2 and 4 dimensions perturbed by quenched disorder in the strength of the interaction between nearby spins. In the interval 2 < d < 4 this disorder is a relevant perturbation that drives the system to a new fixed point of the renormalization group. At d = 2 such disorder is marginally irrelevant and can be studied using conformal perturbation theory. Combining conformal perturbation theory with recent results from the conformal bootstrap we compute some scaling exponents in an expansion around d = 2. If one trusts these computations also in d = 3, one finds results consistent with experimental data and Monte Carlo simulations. In addition, we perform a direct uncontrolled computation in d = 3 using new results for low-lying operator dimensions and OPE coefficients in the 3d Ising model. We compare these new methods with previous studies. Finally, we comment about the O (2) model in d = 3, where we predict a large logarithmic correction to the infrared scaling of disorder.

Operator product expansion coefficients from the nonperturbative functional renormalization group

Félix Rose, Carlo Pagani, N. Dupuis

Using the nonperturbative functional renormalization group (FRG) within the Blaizot-M\'endez-Galain-Wschebor approximation, we compute the operator product expansion (OPE) coefficient $c_{112}$ associated with the operators $\mathcal{O}_1\sim\varphi$ and $\mathcal{O}_2\sim\varphi^2$ in the three-dimensional $\mathrm{O}(N)$ universality class and in the Ising universality class ($N=1$) in dimensions $2 \leq d \leq 4$. When available, exact results and estimates from the conformal bootstrap and Monte-Carlo simulations compare extremely well to our results, while FRG is able to provide values across the whole range of $d$ and $N$ considered.

Benchmarking the Ising universality class in $3 \le d < 4$ dimensions

Claudio Bonanno, Andrea Cappelli A, Mikhail Vladimirovich Kompaniets +2 more

The Ising critical exponents \eta η , \nu ν and \omega ω are determined up to one-per-thousand relative error in the whole range of dimensions 3 \le d < 4 3 ≤ d < 4 , using numerical conformal-bootstrap techniques. A detailed comparison is made with results by the resummed epsilon expansion in varying dimension, the analytic bootstrap, Monte Carlo and non-perturbative renormalization-group methods, finding very good overall agreement. Precise conformal field theory data of scaling dimensions and structure constants are obtained as functions of dimension, improving on earlier findings, and providing benchmarks in 3 \le d < 4 3 ≤ d < 4 .
