Abstract

The critical exponents ′s and ν for the three-dimensional classical n-vector model are calculated by means of 1/n expansion. It is shown that the exponents η, β, ′ and ν satisfy the scaling laws up to order 1/n2.

1/n Expansion Up to Order 1/n2. II: Critical Exponent for d=3

Yutaka Okabe, M. Oku

By means of 1/n expansion, the low-temperature critical behavior of the classical n-vector model is studeid. The discussion is restricted to a three-dimensional lattice with a short-range interaction. The critical exponent β is computed up to oreder 1/n2.

1/n Expansion Up to Order 1/n2. IV: Critical Amplitude Ratio R

M. Oku, O. Yutaka

As one of the series of papers on 1/n expansion of the classical n-vector model up to O(1/n2), the universal amplitude ratio Rχ=1"DB8-1 is investigated up to O(1/n2) in the present paper. The 1/n2 term for Rχ is calculated numerically for d=3. In case of the critical exponent β, γ or ν, the result of the second-order calculation is not satisfactory for small values of n. On the contrary, the situation is much better for Rχ. The numerical value obtained is Rχ=1.20 for n=3 at d=3, which is almost equal to that of high-temperature expansion, Rχ=1.23.

Critical Exponent η up to 1/n2for the Three-Dimensional System with Short-Range Interaction

Ryuzo Abe

By means of the 1/n expansion method, the critical exponent η is discussed for the three-dimensional isotropic n-vector model with short-range interaction. Terms up to 1/n2 are obtained and the result is compared with the numerical estimate based on high temperature expansion and with Wilson's ε expansion.

Critical Exponents from Other Expansions

It is useful to compare the results obtained so far with other approaches to the critical exponents. One is a similar field-theoretic approach based on perturbation expansions of φ 4-theories. But instead of working in D = 4−ε dimensions and continuing the results to ε = 1 to obtain critical exponents in the physical dimension D = 3, perturbation expansions can be derived directly in three dimensions, and studied in the regime of small masses. Fundamentally, this approach is less satisfactory than the previous one since there is no small parameter analogous to ε which permits us to prove the existence of a scaling limit at least for small ε. Another disadvantage is that it is impossible to calculate the expansion coefficients analytically, except for one- and two loop-diagrams. In one respect the three-dimensional approach has, however, an advantage: the power series have long been available up to six loops for ω, η, and ν, and there exist recent results up to seven loops for the critical exponents η and ν. Although numerical expansions are not as esthetic as the exact expansions derived in this book, their increased order leads to a higher accuracy in the critical exponents, as we shall see below in Section 20.4. Another approach is based on high-temperature expansions for lattice models of the O(N)symmetric classical Heisenberg model with the energy of Eq. (1.52). The critical exponents will be derived from such expansions in Section 20.8. Finally we take advantage of the fact that the O(N)-symmetric classical Heisenberg model is exactly solvable in the limit of large N, where it reduces to the spherical model [recall the remark after Eq. (1.69)]. It is therefore possible to expand the φ 4-theory around this limit in powers of 1/N. The results will be compared with those from the perturbation expansions in

Critical Exponents for Long-Range Interactions. III

Masuo Suzuki

The extended scaled equation of state (namely, the scaled form of the wave-number dependent nonlinear susceptibility) is confirmed up to the first order of 1/n, in the classical n-vector model with general range of interactions. Critical exponents γ, δ, η, ν and Δ are evaluated systematically to order 1/n, both for short-range and long-range interactions to check universality and scaling relations.

Critical Exponents and Scaling Relations in 1/nExpansion

Ryuzo Abe, S. Hikami

The critical exponents ν, η and α are derived in powers of 1/n to first order for the n-vector model (or n-component system) with short-range interactions. Scaling relations χ(q)∼ε-γf(q/εν), dν=d-α and γ=ν(2-η) are confirmed up to the order of 1/n.
