Three-state Potts model with antiferromagnetic interactions: a MFRG approach

M C Marques

Published Feb 21, 1988• 15 citations

Abstract

The mean-field renormalisation group method is used to study the critical temperature of the three-state Potts antiferromagnet in 3D lattices, as well as the three-state Potts model on the square lattice with ferromagnetic (along x) and antiferromagnetic (along y) interactions, and its quantum version, the 1D Potts antiferromagnet in a transverse field. Comparison is made with other results.

Mean-field renormalisation group study of antiferromagnetic q-state Potts models

The MFRG method is used to study the critical behaviour of the q-state Potts antiferromagnet in three dimensions. The q dependence of the critical temperature T c as well as the exponent v are derived, and the results are compared with Monte Carlo data and predictions of mean-field theory.

Three-state square lattice Potts antiferromagnet

M. P. Nightingale, Michael Schick C

The three state antiferromagnetic Potts model on a square lattice is investigated via phenomenological renormalisation group methods. In contrast to previous calculations, the results indicate that there exists neither an ordered phase nor a massless phase with algebraic decay of correlations. The sole critical point is at zero temperature, where an essential singularity is found.

Monte Carlo renormalization-group analysis of the antiferromagnetic three-state Potts model on a square lattice

Ciriyam Jayaprakash, Jan Tobochnik

Monte Carlo renormalization-group calculations have been performed on the three-state anti-ferromagnetic Potts model on a square lattice. The results are consistent with the conclusion that there is no transition as a function of temperature.

Mean-field renormalisation group study of the semi-infinite Potts model

M A Santos, M C Marques

The MFRG method is used to study the critical behaviour of the semi-infinite three-dimensional q-state Potts model. Estimates of Delta c , the critical enhancement at the special transition, and the phase diagram are obtained for different values of q and compared with results from other techniques.

Critical behaviour of the three-state antiferromagnetic Potts model in two dimensions

P Reed

The critical properties of the three-state Potts antiferromagnet on a square lattice have been investigated by 'large-cell' renormalisation using an exact numerical technique. The results indicate the existence of a single fixed point at beta -1=0.

Critical behaviour of a (1+1) dimensional Potts model with ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions

Hans Jürgen Herrmann, H. O. Mártin

The authors study the one-dimensional quantum Hamiltonian version of a two-dimensional three-state Potts model on a square lattice which has ferromagnetic interactions in the x direction and antiferromagnetic interactions in the y direction in the limit of strong coupling in the x direction. They find a massless low-temperature behaviour. The transition point which has an essential singularity is located at a different point as previously conjectured.
