Abstract

The critical properties of the three-dimensional XY model are studied in large-scale Monte-Carlo simulations by using a worm algorithm for the integer-current representation of the model. In large systems, singular behavior of the internal energy around the critical point is observed, and the finite-size scaling analyses of the superfluid stiffness lead us to find the critical inverse temperature K c = 0.45416(1) and the correlation length critical exponent ν = 0.6708(5).

Correlation-function approach to the critical properties of the three-dimensional XY model

Min-Chul Cha, Inho Jeon

The critical properties of the three-dimensional XY model are investigated through measurements of the two-point correlation functions via a worm-algorithm Monte Carlo calculation, which automatically crunches the correlation functions while tracing worms, in large systems. This method has the advantage of directly measuring the order parameter, as well as the correlation length, the susceptibility, and their associated critical exponents. From the finite-size scaling behavior, we find 2 β/ν = 1.033(5) and γ/ν = 1.967(5), confirming the hyperscaling relations.

High-precision Monte Carlo study of the three-dimensional XY model on GPU

Ti-Yen Lan, Yun-Da Hsieh, Ying-Jer Kao

We perform large-scale Monte Carlo simulations of the classical XY model on a three-dimensional $L\times L \times L$ cubic lattice using the graphics processing unit (GPU). By the combination of Metropolis single-spin flip, over-relaxation and parallel-tempering methods, we simulate systems up to L=160. Performing the finite-size scaling analysis, we obtain estimates of the critical exponents for the three-dimensional XY universality class: $α=-0.01293(48)$ and $ν=0.67098(16)$. Our estimate for the correlation-length exponent $ν$, in contrast to previous theoretical estimates, agrees with the most recent experimental estimate $ν_{\rm exp}=0.6709(1)$ at the superfluid transition of $^4$He in a microgravity environment.

Finite-size scaling study of the three-dimensional classicalXYmodel

Yinghong Li, Stephen Teitel

The three-dimensional classical XY model on a cubic lattice has been studied using Monte Carlo simulations. The finite-size scaling method of the phenomenological renormalization group has been used to calculate the critical exponents \ensuremath{\nu}, v, and \ensuremath{\beta} of the correlation length, helicity modulus, and order parameter. Good agreement with series-expansion results is obtained.

Critical behaviour of the three-dimensional XY universality class

Campostrini M, Hasenbusch M, Pelissetto A +2 more

We improve the theoretical estimates of the critical exponents for the three-dimensional XY universality class. We fine alpha=-0.0146(8), gamma =1.3177(5), nu =0.671 55(27), eta =0.0380(4), beta =0.3485(2), and delta =4.780(2). We observe a discrepancy with the most recent experimental estimate of alpha; this discrepancy calls for further theoretical and experimental investigations. Our results are obtained by combining Monte Carlo simulations based on finite-size scaling methods, and high-temperature expansions. Two improved models (with suppressed leading scaling corrections) are selected by Monte Carlo computation. The critical exponents are computed from high-temperature expansions specialized to these improved models. By the same technique we determine the coefficients of the small-magnetization expansion of the equation of state. This expansion is extended analytically by means of approximate parametric representations, obtaining the equation of state in the whole critical region. We also determine the specific-heat amplitude ratio.

Bose-glass to superfluid transition in the three-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model

Peter B. Hitchcock, Erik Schwartz Sørensen

We present a Monte Carlo study of the Bose glass to superfluid transition in the three-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model. Simulations are performed on the classical $(3+1)$ dimensional link-current representation using the geometrical worm algorithm. Finite-size scaling analysis (on lattices as large as $16\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}16\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}16\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}512$ sites) of the superfluid stiffness and the compressibility is consistent with a value of the dynamical critical exponent $z=3$, in agreement with existing scaling and renormalization group arguments that $z=d$. We find also a value of $\ensuremath{\nu}=0.70(12)$ for the correlation length exponent, satisfying the relation $\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\ge}2∕d$. However, a detailed study of the correlation functions, $C(r,\ensuremath{\tau})$, at the quantum critical point are not consistent with this value of $z$. We speculate that this discrepancy could be due to the fact that the correlation functions have not reached their true asymptotic behavior because of the relatively small spatial extent of the lattices used in the present study.
