Relationship between Hamiltonian and one-spin transfer-matrix descriptions of Ising systems

Abstract

A close correspondence is demonstrated between the quanatum Hamiltonian for an Ising model in d space dimensions and continuous time with the one-spin transfer matrix for a (d+1)-dimensional Ising model. The analysis is done analytically, showing the relation in detail of the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the two problems.

Equivalence between the two-dimensional Ising model and the quantum XY chain with randomness and with open boundary

Kazuhiko Minami

The equivalence between the two-dimensional Ising model and the one-dimensional quantum XY model is generalized to the cases with alternating/random interactions and with periodic/free boundary conditions. It is proved that the eigenstate for the maximum eigenvalue of the transfer matrix of the two-dimensional Ising model corresponds to the ground state of the Hamiltonian of the one-dimensional XY model, which certifies direct relations between the physical quantities of the two models.

An algorithm to obtain exact eigenvalues and eigenstates of the arbitrary spin Ising Hamiltonian in d dimensions

No author provided

The Hamiltonian of the Ising model in d dimensions has been analysed using unitary transformations and combinatorics. We have been able to obtain closed formulas for the eigenvalues of the Ising Hamiltonian in an arbitrary number of dimensions. Furthermore, generalisations to a higher number of spin components on each site are possible within this method. We have made numerical comparisons with the partition function from the earlier analytical expressions known in the literature for one and two-dimensional cases and found complete agreement.

Relationship among Exactly Soluble Models of Critical Phenomena. I

Masuo Suzuki

By relating a transfer matrix associated with a classical system to the Hamiltonian of its corresponding quantum mechanical system, it is proved that the two-dimensional Ising model in the absence of a magnetic field is equivalent to the ground state of the linear XY-model in the presence of a magnetic field, under appropriate relations among coupling parameters appearing in the two Hamiltonians. Simple relations are established for spin correlations in both systems. Consequently, the Ising system and the ground state of the XY-model are shown to exhibit similar singularities with respect to temperature and a magnetic field, respectively. It is also proved that the two-dimensional dimer problem is equivalent to the ground state of a generalized XY-model, which is solved exactly in general.

Connection-Matrix Eigenvalues in the Ising Model: Taking into Account Interaction with Next-Nearest Neighbors

Boris Kryzhanovsky, Leonid B. Litinskii

Abstract The connection matrix of the Ising model on a $$d$$-dimensional hypercube is investigated. In addition to the interactions between the nearest neighbors, the interactions between the next-nearest neighbors are taken into account. For such a matrix, the exact relations for the eigenvalues and eigenvectors, which are reasonably simply expressed through the corresponding characteristics of the one-dimensional Ising model, are obtained. Both periodic and free boundary conditions are considered.

Transfer Matrix of the Two-dimensional Ising Model

Giuseppe Mussardo

Abstract In this chapter we study the solution of the two-dimensional Ising model by means of the transfer matrix. Unlike the methods discussed in the previous chapter, the transfer matrix approach has greater generality and can used to solve exactly other two-dimensional models. Even if the general ideas behind this approach have been explained in Chapter 2 by means of the one-dimensional case, their application to the two-dimensional cases requires more powerful and sophisticated mathematical tools: for instance, the study the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix in the Ising model for T = Tcneeds to employ elliptic functions. The same is also true for other models. In order to present in the simplest possible way the main lines of this method, in the following we focus attention only on the solution of the model at T = Tcbecause this case can be analyzed in terms of simple trigonometric functions.

Spin matrix for the scaled periodic Ising model

John A. Palmer, Grethe Hystad

We compute the matrix elements for the spin operator in the two dimensional Ising model with respect to the eigenvectors for the transfer matrix in the continuum limit with periodic boundary conditions. This matrix can be used to calculate the correlations for the Ising model on the cylinder or the torus.
