Abstract

We give a rigorous derivation of the free energy of (i) the classical Ising model on the triangular lattice with translation-invariant coupling constants and (ii) the one-dimensional quantum Ising model. We use the method of Kac and Ward. The novel aspect is that the coupling constants may have negative signs. We describe the logarithmic singularity of the specific heat of the classical model and the validity of the Cimasoni-Duminil-Copin-Li formula for the critical temperature. We also discuss the quantum phase transition of the quantum model.

Exact solutions of spin systems via the Kac-Ward method

Georgios Athanasopoulo

This thesis is devoted to establishing rigorous derivations of exact solutions of the 2D classical Ising model and 1D quantum spin systems via the Kac-Ward method More precisely, we give a rigorous derivation of the free energy of (i) the classical Ising model on the triangular lattice with translation-invariant coupling constants, and (ii) the one-dimensional quantum Ising model. We use the method of the Kac and Ward. The novel aspect is that the coupling constants may have negative signs. We describe the logarithmic singularity of the specific heat of the classical model and the validity of the Cimasoni–Duminil-Copin–Li formula for the critical temperature. We also discuss the quantum phase transition of the quantum model. Furthermore, we explore the possibility of extending the Kac-Ward method to 1D quantum spin systems. These systems enjoy stochastic representations given by random loop models. Specifically, we aim at obtaining exact formulas for their free energy and correlation functions.

Thc critical coupling and spontaneous magnetization curve for the 2d-Ising model are calculated using the effective-field method with correlations. An application of the method to the quantum S=1/2 1d-Heisenberg model is presented and reliable low-temperature estimates of the specific heat are evaluated.

Exact Finite-Size-Scaling Corrections to the Critical Two-Dimensional Ising Model on a Torus. II. Triangular and hexagonal lattices

Jesús Salas

We compute the finite-size corrections to the free energy, internal energy and specific heat of the critical two-dimensional spin-1/2 Ising model on a triangular and hexagonal lattices wrapped on a torus. We find the general form of the finite-size corrections to these quantities, as well as explicit formulas for the first coefficients of each expansion. We analyze the implications of these findings on the renormalization-group description of the model. Key Words: Ising model; finite-size scaling; corrections to scaling; renormalization group; irrelevant operators; scaling functions. It is well-known that phase transitions in statistical-mechanical systems can occur only in the infinite-volume limit. In any finite system, all thermodynamic quantities (such as the magnetic susceptibility and the specific heat) are analytic functions of all parameters (such as the temperature and the magnetic field); but near a critical

The Analytical Expressions for a Finite-Size 2D Ising Model

M. Yu. Malsagov, Iakov Karandashev, Boris Kryzhanovsky

Numerical methods are used to examine the thermodynamic characteristics of the two-dimensional Ising model as a function of the number of spins N. Onsager's solution is generalized to a finite-size lattice, and experimentally validated analytical expressions for the free energy and its derivatives are computed. The heat capacity at the critical point is shown to grow logarithmically with N. Due to the finite extent of the system the critical temperature can only be determined to some accuracy.
