Abstract

We calculate relatively accurate critical indices within the collective variables method applied to the phase transitions theory. Discussion on stability of the results and low-level comparison with the other approaches is made.

Phase transitions of the second order : collective variables method

I. R. Yukhnovskii

This book gives an original and up-to-date theory of the second order phase transitions based on the effective functional integral method. Unlike previous works, this theory is constructed ab initio, leading to a consistent description starting from the basic principles of statistical physics. The author introduces a new basic density measure, different from the Gaussian one, to describe the fluctuation in the system in the vicinity of the phase transition point. A new efficient method for partition function integration over the phase space layers is shown, as well as complete solutions of the recursion relations. For the first time, equations are found for the critical temperature and analytical calculations are accompanied by accurate numerical computations. The extensions of the theory for the cases of binary alloys and n-component Stanley model are considered and the collective variables representation for the cluster ferroelectric model are obtained. This modern theory of the phenomena at the second order phase transitions is a breakthrough in this area and would make an exceptionally valuable book for scientists, as well as an important textbook for postgraduates and undergraduates.

Thei- δ relations and the Ising model forS> 1

B. Frank, M. Elofer

The i - δ theory is applied to the calculation of transition temperatures, critical energies and critical multipole moment variables for the S > 1 Ising ferromagnet on the cubic lattices. Formulas are given for the multispin correlation functions T2n. The results are consistent with high-temperature series expansions to within 0.82%. Comparison is made with the recent theory of Samaj.

Non-perturbative methods for hierarchical models

M. B. Oktay

The goal of this thesis is to provide a practical method to calculate, in scalar field theory, accurate numerical values of the renormalized quantities which could be used to test any kind of approximate calculation. We use finite truncations of the Fourier transform of the recursion formula for Dyson's hierarchical model in the symmetric and broken phases to perform high precision calculations of the Green's functions at zero momentum. We use the well-known correspondence between statistical mechanics and field theory in which the large cut-off limit is obtained by letting β reach a critical value βc. We show that the round-off errors on the magnetic susceptibility grow like (βc − β) −1 near criticality. We show that the systematic errors (finite truncation and volume) can be controlled with an exponential precision and reduced to a level lower than numerical errors. We probe the numerical errors made in Renormalization Group (RG) calculations by varying slightly the resealing factor of the fields and resealing back in order to get the same (if there were no round-off errors) magnetic susceptibility. We find a significant departure from Gaussian behavior. In addition, the average value differs from the exact answer by a quantity which is of the same order as the standard deviation. We calculate the critical exponents γ and the subleading exponent Δ of Dyson's model by direct fits of the zero-momentum two-point function calculated with an Ising and a Landau-Ginzburg measure and by linearization about the non-trivial fixed point for O(N) model up to N = 5. We extend the method to the low temperature phase and show that accurate values of the connected one-, two- and three- point functions can be obtained at large volume and in a limited range of constant external field coupled linearly to the field variable. We show that the leading exponents obey the scaling and hyperscaling relations. We discuss the concept of universality in terms of critical exponents, correction amplitudes and the universal coupling constant for different Landau-Ginzburg measures. We compare our accurate numerical results with those obtained from perturbative methods.
