Improved cumulant expansion for a renormalization-group treatment of Ising models

Shih-Chieh Hsu, Th. Niemeijer, J. D. Gunton

The cumulant expansion of renormalization equations proposed by Niemeijer and van Leeuwen is reexamined, resulting in a considerably improved version of the calculation of the critical properties of Ising systems. In particular the thermal and magnetic eigenvalues are determined to within 0.2 and 1.1%, respectively, of the exact values for the square lattice of spins 1/2, from the second-order calculation in this expansion.

Cumulant expansion in renormalization-group transformations on Ising spin systems: A third-order calculation

Aa. S. Sudbø, Per Chr. Hemmer

The Niemeijer-Van Leeuwen cumulant expansion for calculation of renormalized interactions is carried to third order for the Ising model on the triangular lattice. Kadanoff cells containing seven spins are used. In third order there is no indication that the cumulant expansion does not converge: The results are in every respect a considerable improvement over the second order.

A variational real-space renormalisation-group transformation based on the cumulant expansion

Scott J. Shenker, Leo P. Kadanoff, Adrianus M. M. Pruisken

The first order cumulant expansion of Niemeijer and van Leeuwen (1974) is combined with a variational method to find the 'best' value of a fixed point Hamiltonian depending upon a parameter, p. A new method for calculating eigen values near this fixed point is proposed, based upon the neglect of terms proportional to the error neglected at the fixed point. This approach determines delta p/ delta K unambiguously. Calculations are carried out for a few simple models. The results are more accurate than those of most other comparably simple approaches.
