Alternative boundary conditions for Monte Carlo simulations based on self-consistent correlations: Application to the two- and three-dimensional Ising models

I. Etxebarria, Cesar Capillas, Luis Elcoro

An alternative to periodic boundary conditions is developed and tested in Monte Carlo simulations of the two- and three-dimensional Ising models. The boundary conditions are based on a mean-field approach that incorporates consistency constraints for the magnetization and correlations between nearest neighbors by means of an effective field and an extra coupling between nearest neighbors at the boundary of the simulation box. During the simulation the self-consistent equations are solved, and statistics are accumulated to obtain thermodynamic averages. In comparison with the standard periodic boundary conditions the method gives a more accurate estimation of nonuniversal magnitudes, such as the transition temperature and the behavior of the magnetization, but it cannot compete with the accuracy of other strategies such as finite-size scaling theory or Monte Carlo renormalization group to obtain critical exponents.An alternative to periodic boundary conditions is developed and tested in Monte Carlo simulations of the two- and three-dimensional Ising models.

Ising model on three-dimensional random lattices: A Monte Carlo study

Wolfhard Janke E, Ramon Villanova

We report single-cluster Monte Carlo simulations of the Ising model on three-dimensional Poissonian random lattices with up to $128000\ensuremath{\approx}{50}^{3}$ sites which are linked together according to the Voronoi-Delaunay prescription. For each lattice size quenched averages are performed over 96 realizations. By using reweighting techniques and finite-size scaling analyses we investigate the critical properties of the model in the close vicinity of the phase transition point. Our random lattice data provide strong evidence that, for the available system sizes, the resulting effective critical exponents are indistinguishable from recent high-precision estimates obtained in Monte Carlo studies of the Ising model and ${\ensuremath{\varphi}}^{4}$ field theory on three-dimensional regular cubic lattices.We report single-cluster Monte Carlo simulations of the Ising model on three-dimensional Poissonian random lattices with up to $128000\ensuremath{\approx}{50}^{3}$ sites which are linked together according to the Voronoi-Delaunay prescription.

Universal amplitude ratios in the three-dimensional Ising model

Michele Caselle, Martin Hasenbusch B

We present a high precision Monte Carlo study of various universal amplitude ratios of the three-dimensional Ising spin model. Using state of the art simulation techniques we study the model close to criticality in both phases. Great care is taken to control systematic errors due to finite size effects and correction to scaling terms. We obtain , and . Our results are compatible with those obtained by field theoretic methods applied to the theory and high- and low-temperature series expansions of the Ising model. The mismatch with a previous Monte Carlo study by Ruge et al remains to be understood.We present a high precision Monte Carlo study of various universal amplitude ratios of the three-dimensional Ising spin model.
