Higher moments of spin-spin correlation functions for the ferromagnetic random bond Potts model
M.-A Lewis
Using conformal field theory techniques, we compute the disorder-averaged p -th power of the spin-spin correlation function (overline⟨σ(0)σ( R )⟩ p , p ∊ Z ) for the ferromagnetic random bond Potts model. We thus generalize the calculations of Dotsenko, Dotsenko and Picco ( hep-th/9709136 , 1997), where the case p = 2 was considered, and of Ludwig ( Nucl. Phys. B , 85 (1987) 97, 330 (1990) 639), where first-order computations where made for general p . Perturbative calculations are made up to second order in ( being proportional to the central charge deviation of the pure model from the Ising model value). The explicit dependence of the correlation function on p gives an upper bound for the validity of the -expansion, which seems to be valid, in the three-states case, only if p ⩽ 4.
