Abstract

Tensor renormalization group (TRG) method is a real space renormalization group approach. It has been successfully applied to both classical and quantum systems. In this paper, we study a disordered and frustrated system, the two-dimensional Edwards-Anderson model, by a new topological invariant TRG scheme. We propose an approach to calculate the local magnetizations and nearest pair correlations simultaneously. The Nishimori multicritical point predicted by the topological invariant TRG agrees well with the recent Monte Carlo results. The TRG schemes outperform the mean-field methods on the calculation of the partition function. We notice that it might obtain a negative partition function at sufficiently low temperatures. However, the negative contribution can be neglected if the system is large enough. This topological invariant TRG can also be used to study three-dimensional spin glass systems.

Do tensor renormalization group methods work for frustrated spin systems?

Zhu, Zheng, Helmut G. Katzgraber

No. To illustrate that tensor renormalization group methods are poorly suited for frustrated magnetic systems, we study the thermodynamic properties of the two-dimensional Edwards-Anderson Ising spin-glass model on a square lattice. We show that the limited precision of standard 64-bit data types and not a small cut-off parameter is the main reason for unphysical negative partition function values in spin glasses.

Real Space Renormalization Group Analysis with the Replica Method for the Two Dimensional Ising Edwards–Anderson Model

Takehisa Hasegawa, Koji Nemoto

We apply the real space renormalization group (RG) to the replica Hamiltonian of the two dimensional Ising Edwards–Anderson model to discuss the existence of the spin glass (SG) phase. We derive the RG equations under the replica symmetric (RS) ansatz and the resulting flow diagram indicates the existence of the SG phase. The critical exponent for the SG transition has a plausible value while that of the multicritical point (MCP) is a complex number. We consider that this failure at the MCP is due to not taking the RS breaking into account. Indeed we find that the RS breaking parameter is relevant both at the SG critical point and the MCP, indicating the nontriviality of the SG phase of this model.

Tensor renormalization group approach to classical dimer models

Krishanu Roychowdhury, Ching-Yu Huang

We analyze classical dimer models on a square and a triangular lattice using a tensor network representation of the dimers. The correlation functions are numerically calculated using the recently developed ``tensor renormalization group'' (TRG) technique. The partition function for the dimer problem can be calculated exactly by the Pfaffian method, which is used here as a platform for comparing the numerical results. The TRG approach turns out to be a powerful tool for describing gapped systems with exponentially decaying correlations very efficiently due to its fast convergence. This is the case for the dimer model on the triangular lattice. However, the convergence becomes very slow and unstable in the case of the square lattice where the model has algebraically decaying correlations. We highlight these aspects with numerical simulations and critically appraise the robustness of the TRG approach by contrasting the results for small and large system sizes against the exact calculations. Furthermore, we benchmark our TRG results with the classical Monte Carlo method.

High-precision thermodynamic and critical properties from tensor renormalization-group flows

Michael Hinczewski, A. Nihat Berker

The recently developed tensor renormalization-group (TRG) method provides a highly precise technique for deriving thermodynamic and critical properties of lattice Hamiltonians. The TRG is a local coarse-graining transformation, with the elements of the tensor at each lattice site playing the part of the interactions that undergo the renormalization-group flows. These tensor flows are directly related to the phase diagram structure of the infinite system, with each phase flowing to a distinct surface of fixed points. Fixed-point analysis and summation along the flows give the critical exponents, as well as thermodynamic functions along the entire temperature range. Thus, for the ferromagnetic triangular lattice Ising model, the free energy is calculated to better than 10(-5) along the entire temperature range. Unlike previous position-space renormalization-group methods, the truncation (of the tensor index range D) in this general method converges under straightforward and systematic improvements. Our best results are easily obtained with D=24, corresponding to 4624-dimensional renormalization-group flows.

Initial tensor construction and dependence of the tensor renormalization group on initial tensors

Katsumasa Nakayama, Manuel Schneider

We propose a method to construct a tensor network representation of partition functions without singular value decompositions nor series expansions. The approach is demonstrated for one- and two-dimensional Ising models and we study the dependence of the tensor renormalization group (TRG) on the form of the initial tensors and their symmetries. We further introduce variants of several tensor renormalization algorithms. Our benchmarks reveal a significant dependence of various TRG algorithms on the choice of initial tensors and their symmetries. However, we show that the boundary TRG technique can eliminate the initial tensor dependence for all TRG methods. The numerical results of TRG calculations can thus be made significantly more robust with only a few changes in the code. Furthermore, we study a three-dimensional Z 2 gauge theory without gauge fixing and confirm the applicability of the initial tensor construction. Our method can straightforwardly be applied to systems with longer range and multisite interactions, such as the next-nearest neighbor Ising model. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
