FINITE-SIZE CORRECTIONS TO CORRELATION FUNCTION AND SUSCEPTIBILITY IN 2D ISING MODEL
J. Kaupužs
Abstract
Transfer matrix calculations of the critical two-point correlation function in 2D Ising model on a finite-size [Formula: see text] lattice with periodic boundaries along 〈11〉 direction are extended to L = 21. A refined analysis of the correlation function in 〈10〉 crystallographic direction at the distance r = L indicates the existence of a nontrivial finite-size correction of a very small amplitude with correction-to-scaling exponent ω < 2 in agreement with our foregoing study for L ≤ 20. Here we provide an additional evidence and show that amplitude a of the multiplicative correction term 1 + aL-ωis about -3.5·10-8if ω = 1/4 (the expected value). We calculate also the susceptibility for L ≤ 18 in order to compare our numerical estimates for the constant background contribution with the known very precise value and to look for possible nontrivial corrections to scaling. The numerical analysis reveals a perfect agreement for the background term, as well as shows that the nontrivial correction term, detected by our analysis in the correlation function, likely cancels in the susceptibility.
