The Yang-Lee edge singularity studied by a four-level quantum renormalization-group blocking method

Abstract

A quantum renormalization-group technique is applied to the one-dimensional transverse field Ising model in a complex longitudinal field. The Yang-Lee edge singularity is analysed in this model in view of its analogy with the 2d classical Ising model. Previous two-level calculations are improved by retaining four levels in the blocking procedure. A more precise edge exponent σ is found in agreement with the infinite block extrapolation of the two-level calculation, but still larger in absolute value than the latest series analysis results. The occurrence of oscillations in the real part of the magnetization appears to be an artifact of the real-space method, which introduces finite size effects.

Yang-Lee Edge Singularity from a Real-Space Renormalization-Group Method

Katarina Uzelac, Pierre M. Pfeuty, Rémi Jullien

The quantum one-dimensional transverse Ising model with an imaginary longitudinal field is studied at $T=0$ using a real-space renormalization-group method. Evaluation is made of the real part of the ground-state longitudinal magnetization which is related to the Yang-Lee distribution of zeros of the partition function for the two-dimensional classical Ising model. The edge exponents are found as $\ensuremath{\sigma}=\ensuremath{-}0.25\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.05$ and $\ensuremath{\eta}=\ensuremath{-}1.0\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.02$, in agreement with series expansion estimates.

Real-space renormalization-group method for quantum systems : Yang-Lee edge singularity

Katarina Uzelac, Rémi Jullien, Pierre M. Pfeuty +1 more

A T=0 real-space renormalization-group method is presented and applied to the quantum 1D transverse field Ising model in the presence of a longitudinal field. This is an indirect way to study the equation of state of the equivalent 2D classical Ising model at finite temperature. When the longitudinal field is purely imaginary we obtain a new critical behavior which is related to the Yang-Lee edge singularity of the corresponding classical model. We extract the edge exponent σ in agreement with previous series expansion estimates.

One-dimensional transverse-field Ising model in a complex longitudinal field from a real-space renormalization-group method at T=0

Katarina Uzelac, Rémi Jullien, Pierre M. Pfeuty

The ground state of the quantum one-dimensional transverse-field Ising model in a longitudinal field is studied using a real-space renormalization-group method. The longitudinal magnetization in the ground state is calculated. Considering a real longitudinal field, this study provides an indirect investigation of the equation of state of the equivalent classical two-dimensional Ising model. Considering then the case of a purely imaginary longitudinal field, a new critical behavior is found which corresponds to the Yang-Lee edge singularity of the classical equivalent. In this last case the details of calculations and results are given, published earlier in a letter form.

The Yang-Lee edge singularity by the phenomenological renormalisation group

Katarina Uzelac, Rémi Jullien

The phenomenological renormalisation group is applied to the 1D transverse Ising model with longitudinal imaginary field in order to investigate the Yang-Lee edge singularity (1952) of the equivalent 2D Ising model. The method is extended to calculate directly the exponent sigma of the magnetisation.

Corner transfer matrix approach to the Yang-Lee singularity in the two-dimensional Ising model in a magnetic field

Vladimir V. Mangazeev, Bryte Hagan, Vladimir V. Bazhanov

We study the two-dimensional (2D) Ising model in a complex magnetic field in the vicinity of the Yang-Lee edge singularity. By using Baxter's variational corner transfer matrix method combined with analytic techniques, we numerically calculate the scaling function and obtain an accurate estimate of the location of the Yang-Lee singularity. The existing series expansions for susceptibility of the 2D Ising model on a triangular lattice by Chan, Guttmann, Nickel, and Perk allowed us to substantially enhance the accuracy of our calculations. Our results are in excellent agreement with the Ising field theory calculations by Fonseca, Zamolodchikov, and the recent work by Xu and Zamolodchikov. In particular, we numerically confirm an agreement between the leading singular behavior of the scaling function and the predictions of the M_{2/5} conformal field theory.

Yang-Lee edge singularity in the one-dimensional long-range Ising model

Zvonko Glumac, Katarina Uzelac

The finite-range scaling method has been used to study the Yang-Lee edge singularity problem for the one-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising model with long-range interactions decaying with distance r, as r -d- sigma . The phase diagram and the critical exponent nu have been calculated for different values of sigma by using finite ranges L<or=9. The critical value sigma c dividing the long-range from the short-range critical regime has been discussed.
