Solution of renormalization group recursion relations for a finite Ising chain

Published Aug 1, 1979• 0 citations

Abstract

The recursion relations obtained by applying the renormalization group technique to a finite one-dimensional Ising chain with nearest-neighbor interaction and constant external magnetic field are decoupled and solved in closed form.

Renormalization-group treatment of the long-ranged one-dimensional Ising model with random fields

P. O. Weir, N. Read, J. Michael Kosterlitz

We construct a renormalization-group theory for a one-dimensional Ising model with longranged interactions and random fields with short-ranged correlations. We find recursion relations near the zero-temperature, finite randomness fixed point, valid for $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ near \textonehalf{}, where the interaction $\frac{J}{(r)}=\frac{J}{{r}^{1+\ensuremath{\sigma}}}$. We also show that the probability distribution for the random fields becomes strongly non-Gaussian under the scaling procedure.

Exact Renormalization Group with Griffiths Singularities and Spin-Glass Behavior: The Random Ising Chain

G. Grinstein, A. Nihat Berker, J. Chalupa +1 more

The quenched random Ising chain is treated by a decimation transformation. An exact recursion relation is derived for the distribution of nearest-neighbor couplings and magnetic fields. Fixed distributions associated with Griffiths singularities and with the spin-glass state are explicitly exhibited.

Across dimensions: Two- and three-dimensional phase transitions from the iterative renormalization-group theory of chains

Ibrahim Keçoğlu, A. Nihat Berker

Sharp two- and three-dimensional phase transitional magnetization curves are obtained by an iterative renormalization-group coupling of Ising chains, which are solved exactly. The chains by themselves do not have a phase transition or nonzero magnetization, but the method reflects crossover from temperaturelike to fieldlike renormalization-group flows as the mechanism for the higher-dimensional phase transitions. The magnetization of each chain acts, via the interaction constant, as a magnetic field on its neighboring chains, thus entering its renormalization-group calculation. The method is highly flexible for wide application.

Easy Applications of Renormalization Group to Simple Models

W D McComb

Abstract We start with a one-dimensional magnet, in which the individual, microscopic magnets either point up or down but not in any other direction. In physics this is known as the one-dimensional Ising model. The problem it poses is something of a “cheat,” because not only can it be solved exactly but the approximate RG method is readily converted to an exact solution! Nevertheless, it is a nice introduction to how one may calculate the partition function recursively.

II. Exact solutions of disordered Ising spin chains in a magnetic field

Stephen B. Haley

The one-dimensional Ising model with arbitrary nearest neighbor interactions and a magnetic field is formulated in terms of the spin correlation function relations derived in the preceding article I. The local magnetization and the two-spin correlation functions are shown to satisfy a set of coupled algebraic summation equations. The solution of this set is given in terms of a power series in hyberbolic tangents of the magnetic field strength, for chains of arbitrary length. For cases in which the interaction constants are random variables, explicit expressions are derived for the configurational averaged magnetization and the two-spin correlation functions to the lowest order in the magnetic field.

Exact renormalization-group equations in one dimension

R. E. Prange

A renormalization-group method of recursion relations is developed and applied to the general Landau-Ginzburg problem in one-dimensional statistical mechanics. In special cases, simple closed-form expressions are obtained. In one case, the group recursion relations completely determine the free energy, whereas in another the relations are barely stronger than dimensional analysis.
