Abstract

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.

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.

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

M C Marques

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.

A Monte Carlo study of the three-states antiferromagnetic Potts model in two dimensions

Francesco Fucito

Using Monte Carlo methods the author studies the two-dimensional three-stages Potts model with antiferromagnetic nearest neighbours and ferromagnetic next-nearest neighbours couplings on a square lattice. The author focuses on the case with only antiferromagnetic coupling; from the analysis of the data gathered, there is evidence that this system shows critical behaviour only at T=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.

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

M C Marques

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.

The ferro/antiferromagnetic q-state Potts model

Damien Paul Foster, C Gérard

The critical properties of the mixed ferro/antiferromagnetic q-state Potts model on the square lattice are investigated using the numerical transfer matrix technique. The transition temperature is found to be substantially lower than previously found for q=3. It is conjectured that there is no transition for q>3, in contradiction with previous results.
