Abstract

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.

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.

Exact solution and pair correlation functions for a generalized three-chain Ising tube with multispin interactions

Pavel Khrapov, Nikita Volkov

We obtain an exact solution for a generalized three-chain Ising tube (TCGIT) of length $L$ with toroidal boundary conditions and the most general $C_3$-invariant Hamiltonian on an elementary prism, containing 20 independent coupling constants, including an external magnetic field. Using an $8\times 8$ transfer matrix, we derive the exact partition function of the finite system and obtain the free energy, internal energy, specific heat, magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, and entropy in the thermodynamic limit $L\to\infty$. In the general case, $λ_{\max}$ is determined by a quartic equation, whereas in the principal special case with even-spin interactions (PSC) the spectrum simplifies substantially: the characteristic polynomial factorizes, and $λ_{\max}$ is given by the root of a quadratic equation. For mirror-symmetric subfamilies, we derive explicit formulas for the pair correlation functions and express the magnetization in terms of the components of the eigenvector associated with $λ_{\max}$; in the even-spin case with $h=0$, the magnetization vanishes. Important special cases include the width-three planar model with nearest-neighbor, next-nearest-neighbor, and plaquette interactions, including the entropy limit $S(T\to0^+)=(\ln 2)/3$ for $k\ge 0$ and $S(T\to0^+)=0$ for $k<0$, as well as the width-three planar triangular model with distinct nearest-neighbor couplings, three-spin interactions involving neighboring triangles, and an external field.

Exact solution of the three-state generalized double-chain Potts model

Pavel Khrapov, G. E. Skvortsov

An exact analytical solution of generalized three-state double-chain Potts model with multi-spin interactions which are invariant under cyclic shift of all spin values is obtained. The partition function in a finite cyclically closed strip of length L, as well as the free energy, internal energy, entropy and heat capacity in thermodynamic limit are calculated using transfer-matrix method. Partial magnetization and susceptibility are suggested as the generalization of usual physical characteristics of a system. Proposed model can be interpreted as a generalized version of standard Potts model (which has Hamiltonian expressed through Kronecker symbols) and clock model (with Hamiltonian expressed through cosines). Considering a particular example of the model with plenty of forces, model's ground states are found, figures of its thermodynamic characteristics and discussed their behaviour at low temperature are shown.

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 exact solution of the Axial Next-Nearest-Neighbor Ising model on width 2 spin chains

Pavel Khrapov, Anastasia Loginova

Using the transfer matrix method for Axial Next-Nearest Neighbor Ising model without an external field on a closed chain of spins of width 2 in the direction of interaction of only nearest neighbors and length L in the direction of interaction of nearest neighbors and next nearest neighbors, we found exact values of the partition function in a finite strip of length L , free energy, internal energy per node, heat capacity in a finite strip of length L and in the thermodynamic limit. The entire spectrum of the 16x16 transfer matrix and the structure of all transfer matrix eigenvectors are found. The problem of finding the spectrum of the transfer matrix is reduced to finding the spectrum of two matrixes of size 8x8. The characteristic polynomial of the first matrix is decomposed into two linear polynomials of multiplicity two and two square trinomials. The characteristic polynomial of the second matrix is decomposed into two polynomials of the fourth degree, the roots of which are found by the Ferrari method. The free energy in the thermodynamic limit has a very simple form and is expressed in terms of the logarithm of the root of the quadratic equation. Two theorems on the physical characteristics of the ANNNI model in a finite closed strip of length L and in the thermodynamic limit are formulated and proved. An example of calculation is given for some values of the model parameters in the thermodynamic limit, heat capacity graphs are plotted. A comparative analysis of the heat capacity for the double-stranded ANNNI model and the ANNNI model on the entire flat lattice is given. The closest connection and similarity of the physical characteristics of the two-chain model and the model on the entire flat lattice is shown.

Disorder Solutions for Generalized Ising Model with Multispin Interaction

Pavel Khrapov

This study demonstrates a development of convenient formulae for obtaining the value of the free energy in the thermodynamic limit on a set of exact disorder solutions depending on four parameters for a 2D generalized Ising model in an external magnetic field with the interaction of nearest neighbors, next nearest neighbors, all kinds of triple interactions and the four interactions for the planar model, and for the 3D generalized Ising model in an external magnetic field with all kinds of interactions in the tetrahedron formed by four spins: at the origin of the coordinates and the closest to it along three coordinate axes in the first coordinate octant. Lattice models are considered with boundary conditions with a shift (similar to helical ones), and a cyclic closure of the set of all points (in natural ordering). For both the planar model and the 3D model, elementary transfer matrices with nonnegative matrix elements are constructed, while the free energy in the thermodynamic limit is equal to the Napierian logarithm of the maximum eigenvalue of the transfer matrix. This maximum eigenvalue can be found for a special kind of eigenvector with positive components. The region of existence of these solutions is described. The examples show the existence of nontrivial solutions of the resulting systems of equations for plane and threedimensional generalized Ising models. The system of equations and the value of free energy in the thermodynamic limit will remain the same for plane and threedimensional models with Hamiltonians, in which the value of the maximum in the natural ordering of the spin is replaced by the value of the spin at almost any other point in the lattice, this significantly expands the set of models having disordered exact solutions. The high degree of symmetry and repeatability of the components of the found eigenvectors, disappearing when we go beyond the framework of the obtained set of exact solutions, are the reason for the search for phase transitions in the vicinity of this set of disordered solutions.
