Block-diagonalizable two-dimensional generalized Ising systems (BD2DGIS): the free energy

Abstract

The paper is a continuation of arXiv:2012.10364, where the approach was developed to constructing the exact matrix model for any generalized Ising system, and such model was constructed for certain 2d system. In this paper, the properties of the model are specified for light block diagonalization. A corresponding example is considered. For the example, general exact partition function is obtained and analysed. The analysis shows that the free energy does not depend on the amount of rows with a large amount of cells. For the example with light boundary conditions, the partition function is obtained and the specific free energy per spin is plotted.

Exact matrix model for generalized Ising model

Vadym Sakhno, Mykola Sakhno

The Ising model was generalized to a system of cells interacting exclusively by presence of shared spins. Within the cells there are interactions of any complexity, the simplest intracell interactions come down to the Ising model. The system may be not only one-dimensional but also two-dimensional, three-dimensional, etc. The purpose of the paper is to develop an approach to constructing the exact matrix model for any considered system in the simplest way. Without this, it is almost impossible to analyze complex systems. After trying a lot of ways, the approach has been simplified to suit first year students. Using the approach, the exact matrix model for a two-dimensional generalized Ising model was constructed. The following approaches have already been developed to obtaining and analyzing partition function and various thermodynamic functions. They will be considered in following papers.

Exact Solution and Correlation Functions of Generalized Double Ising Chains

Pavel Khrapov, Stepan Shchurenkov

In this paper the exact solution and correlation functions for a double-chain Ising model with multi-spin interactions and symmetric Hamiltonian density are obtained. The study employs the transfer matrix method to derive fundamental thermodynamic characteristics of the system. The main results include exact expressions for the partition function, free energy, internal energy, specific heat capacity, magnetization, susceptibility, and entropy in a strip of finite length and in the thermodynamic limit. The work provides explicit formulas for the eigenvalues and shows structure of eigenvectors of the transfer matrix. The expression for magnetization in the thermodynamic limit using components of normalized eigenvector corresponding to the maximum eigenvalue is obtained. A detailed analysis is conducted for a special case of interactions involving all kinds of two- and four-spin interactions. This gives the simplified formula for free energy, it is calculated using the root of quadratic equation. Using special relation between parameters the solution for gonihedric model on the plane is obtained. The research reveals properties of the system, including specific features of ground states and phase diagram characteristics. Particular attention is given to the behavior of physical quantities near frustration points and the investigation of spin correlation functions. Plots of physical characteristics, including inverse correlation length, illustrating the obtained results are constructed.

Disorder solutions for generalized 2D Ising Model with multi-spin interaction

Pavel Khrapov

For generalized 2D Ising model in an external magnetic field with the interaction of nearest neighbors, next nearest neighbors, all kinds of triple interactions and the quadruple interaction the formulas for finding free energy per lattice site in the thermodynamic limit were derived on a certain set of exact disordered solutions depending on seven parameters. Lattice models are considered with boundary conditions with a shift (similar to helical ones), and with cyclic closure of the set of all points in natural ordering. The elementary transfer matrix with nonnegative matrix elements are constructed. On the set of disorder solutions the largest eigenvalue of the transfer matrix is constant for every size of considering planar lattice, and, in particular, in the thermodynamic limit. Free energy per lattice site in the thermodynamic limit is expressed through the natural logarithm of the largest eigenvalue of transfer matrix. This largest eigenvalue can be found for a special form of eigenvector with positive components. The numerical example show the existence of nontrivial solutions of the resulting systems of equations. The system of equations and the value of free energy in the thermodynamic limit will remain the same for 2D generalized Ising models with Hamiltonians, in which the values of two (out of four) neighboring maximal spins in the natural ordering are replaced by the values of the spins at any other two lattice points adjacent in the natural ordering, this significantly expands the set of models having disordered exact solutions. The high degree of symmetry and inductive construction of the components of the eigenvectors, which disappear when going beyond the framework of the obtained set of exact solutions, is an occasion to search for phase transitions in the vicinity of this set of disordered solutions.

The square lattice Ising model on the rectangle I: finite systems

Alfred Hucht

Abstract The partition function of the square lattice Ising model on the rectangle with open boundary conditions in both directions is calculated exactly for arbitrary system size L × M and temperature. We start with the dimer method of Kasteleyn, McCoy and Wu, construct a highly symmetric block transfer matrix and derive a factorization of the involved determinant, effectively decomposing the free energy of the system into two parts, F ( L , M ) = F s t r i p ( L , M ) + F s t r i p r e s ( L , M ) , where the residual part F s t r i p r e s ( L , M ) contains the nontrivial finite- L contributions for fixed M . It is given by the determinant of a M / 2 × M / 2 matrix and can be mapped onto an effective spin model with M Ising spins and long-range interactions. While F s t r i p r e s ( L , M )

A New Exact Method for Solving the Two-Dimensional Ising Model

S. Ranjbar, Gholamabbas Parsafar

We have used the two-dimensional Ising model with a limited number of rows, but with the coordination number of four for each site, to set up the transfer matrix for the model. From the solution of such a matrix, the exact thermodynamic properties have been obtained for the model with a definite number of rows, n . We have solved the matrix for n ≤ 7 and n ≤ 10 in the presence and absence of a magnetic field, respectively. On the basis of such solutions, we have proposed an analytical expression for the partition function of the model with any number of rows in the absence of a magnetic field. The proposed expression becomes more accurate when n is larger, in such a way that it becomes very accurate for n ≥ 8 and is exact for n → ∞. Our results show that the singularity of the specific heat occurs only for the model with infinite number of rows. In the presence of a magnetic field, the solution to the matrixes is too complicated to propose a general analytical expression for the partition function of the model with any number of rows. However, our exact solution for the model with n = 4, 5, 6, and 7 reveals an important point that such results are independent of n when the field−spin interaction energy is almost equal to or larger than that of the spin−spin interaction.
