Critical Phenomena of the Ising Model with Non-Integer Effective Dimensions : a Monte Carlo Study

俊樹堀田

We have studied the critical phenomena of the Ising model with long-range interaction and the Ising model with spatially correlated random field, both of which are expected to change the effective dimension of the system continuously.The investigation was conducted from the numerical viewpoint by using the Markov chain Monte Carlo method.Second order phase transitions can be classified into the universality classes and the dimensionality of the Ising model changes the universality class: the one-dimensional Ising model has no long-range order at finite temperatures (lower critical dimension), four or higher dimensional model has the mean-field universality (upper critical dimension), two-dimensional Ising model belongs to different universality from either of them, and so on.Although both of the Ising models with long-range interaction and the Ising model with spatially correlated random field are believed to change their critical behavior from its real spatial dimension into different effective dimensions, their detailed behavior has not been known well because of the notorious difficulties in analysis.In this work, we have obtained the detailed behavior of these models by introducing and developing the various methods.To investigate the Ising model with long-range interaction, we introduced the Fukui-Todo method, which drastically reduces the computational cost from O(N 2 ) to O(N ), where N is the number of spins, and developed the generalized Ewald summation, the improved estimator, and the combined Binder ratio technique, which improves the convergence of the estimation.These techniques lead to the successful estimation of the boundary of the universality classes.We also investigated the Ising model with correlated random field by introducing the method for correlated random number generation and the various techniques for the precise analysis.Although the present numerical investigations suggested that the correlated random field causes a shift of effective dimensionality, they also revealed the difficulty for stronger random-field correlations because of the huge finite-size effects.i Prof. SyngeWe have studied the critical phenomena of the Ising model with long-range interaction and the Ising model with spatially correlated random field, both of which are expected to change the effective dimension of the system continuously.The investigation was conducted from the numerical viewpoint by using the Markov chain Monte Carlo method.Second order phase transitions can be classified into the universality classes and the dimensionality of the Ising model changes the universality class: the one-dimensional Ising model has no long-range order at finite temperatures (lower critical dimension), four or higher dimensional model has the mean-field universality (upper critical dimension), two-dimensional Ising model belongs to different universality from either of them, and so on.Although both of the Ising models with long-range interaction and the Ising model with spatially correlated random field are believed to change their critical behavior from its real spatial dimension into different effective dimensions, their detailed behavior has not been known well because of the notorious difficulties in analysis.In this work, we have obtained the detailed behavior of these models by introducing and developing the various methods.To investigate the Ising model with long-range interaction, we introduced the Fukui-Todo method, which drastically reduces the computational cost from O(N 2 ) to O(N ), where N is the number of spins, and developed the generalized Ewald summation, the improved estimator, and the combined Binder ratio technique, which improves the convergence of the estimation.These techniques lead to the successful estimation of the boundary of the universality classes.We also investigated the Ising model with correlated random field by introducing the method for correlated random number generation and the various techniques for the precise analysis.Although the present numerical investigations suggested that the correlated random field causes a shift of effective dimensionality, they also revealed the difficulty for stronger random-field correlations because of the huge finite-size effects.i Prof. Synge
