Abstract

Abstract We study the spin-1/2 Ising chain with multispin interactions K involving the product of m successive spins, for general values of m . Using a change of spin variables the zero-field partition function of a finite chain is obtained for free and periodic boundary conditions and we calculate the two-spin correlation function. When placed in an external field H the system is shown to be self-dual. Using another change of spin variables the one-dimensional Ising model with multispin interactions in a field is mapped onto a zero-field rectangular Ising model with first-neighbour interactions K and H . The 2D system, with size m × N / m , has the topology of a cylinder with helical BC. In the thermodynamic limit N / m → ∞ , m → ∞ , a 2D critical singularity develops on the self-duality line, sinh 2 K sinh 2 H = 1 .

One-dimensional q -state Potts model with multi-site interactions

Loïc Turban

Abstract A one-dimensional (1D) q -state Potts model with N sites, m -site interaction K in a field H is studied for arbitrary values of m . Exact results for the partition function and the two-point correlation function are obtained at H = 0. The system in a field is shown to be self-dual. Using a change of Potts variables, it is mapped onto a standard 2D Potts model, with first-neighbour interactions K and H , on a cylinder with helical boundary conditions (BC). The 2D system has a length N / m and a transverse size m . Thus the Potts chain with multi-site interactions is expected to develop a 2D critical singularity along the self-duality line, ( e q K − 1 ) ( e q H − 1 ) = q , when N / m → ∞ and m → ∞ .

Two-dimensional Ising model with multispin interactions

Jean‐Marc Debierre, Loïc Turban

The two-dimensional Ising model in the rectangular lattice is generalised to include m-spin interactions in one direction and two-spin interactions in the other. This model is self-dual and the critical line is the same as in the conventional Ising model with m=2. The m=3 model is solved in a generalised mean-field approximation where the transition is first order. Using a phenomenological renormalisation group approach, approximate values of the thermal and magnetic exponents y t and y h are obtained for m=3 and m=4. The m=3 results together with symmetry arguments suggest that this model belongs to the same class of universality as the Baxter-Wu and four-state ferromagnetic Potts models. When m=4 the transition is probably first order.

Critical behavior of the classical spin-1 Ising model for magnetic systems

Roberto Zivieri

In this work, the critical properties of the classical spin-1 Ising Hamiltonian applied to magnetic systems characterized by the first-neighbors biquadratic exchange, the anisotropy and the external magnetic field contributions are theoretically investigated. The first-neighbors bilinear exchange interaction is set equal to zero. For magnetic systems the bicubic exchange interaction must be set equal to zero as it would break the time-reversal invariance of the exchange Hamiltonian. To determine the critical behavior, the spin-1 Ising Hamiltonian is mapped onto the spin-1/2 Ising Hamiltonian by using the Griffith’s variable transformation. The critical surface of a 2D square magnetic lattice is determined in the parameter space as a function of the magnetic parameters and the phase transition occurring across it is quantitatively discussed by calculating, for each spin, the free energy and the magnetization. The free energy of the 2D square magnetic lattice, described via the three-state spin-1 Ising model, is obtained from an empirical expression of the partition function recently proposed for a spin-1/2 Ising model in an external magnetic field and applied to a 2D magnetic lattice. These results could pave the way to numerical simulations and to measurements able to confirm the analytical predictions.

Phase transitions in systems with multispin interactions

K. A. Penson, Rémi Jullien, Pierre M. Pfeuty

An Ising-type model including $n$-spin nearest-neighbor interactions is introduced. The ground-state properties of its Hamiltonian version are studied in one and two dimensions. The model is self-dual in one dimension. The mean-field theory indicates that for $n>{n}_{c}$ the transition may become first order. Finite-size scaling suggests that ${n}_{c}=4$ in one dimension. The critical exponents as functions of $n$ are estimated.

Exact solution of generalized triple Ising chains with multi-spin interactions

Pavel Khrapov, Nikita Volkov

We obtain the exact physical characteristics of the triple-chain Ising model on a torus with all possible multispin interactions invariant with respect to rotation by the angle $2π/ 3$. The exact value of the partition function in a finite cyclically closed strip of length $L$, as well as the free energy, internal energy, specific heat, magnetization, susceptibility, and entropy in the thermodynamic limit at $L \to \infty$ are found by the transfer-matrix method for the model. The spectrum of the transfer-matrix and the structure of its eigenvectors are found. For two special cases - for the model with multispin interactions of even number of spins and for the model with some interactions of two, three, four and six spins, simplified expressions of the mentioned physical characteristics are obtained; in the thermodynamic limit they are expressed through the logarithm of the root of the quadratic equation. For the model with multispin interactions of an even number of spins, a kind of pair correlations in the thermodynamic limit is found, and it is shown that the magnetization at zero magnetic field is equal to zero; the structure of the ground states of the system is found and examples of their projections of seven-dimensional space onto three-dimensional space and examples of configurations corresponding to these ground states are given. The correlation length is shown and its graphs are given. As special cases, we consider the planar triangular model with all possible interactions, including, perhaps, different triple interactions inside neighboring triangles, and the planar model with nearest-neighbor, next nearest-neighbor, and plaquette interactions. For them the main exact physical characteristics have been found. This allowed us to obtain them for the planar gonihedric model as well.

The model is self-dual in one dimension. The mean-field theory indicates that for n>ncn>{n}_{c}n>nc​ the transition may become first order.
