Using the tensor renormalization group method, we analyze the (1+1)-dimensional lattice ϕ4 model. The critical coupling constants and the critical exponents γ and δ are evaluated. These are consistent with the Monte Carlo result and the exact values for the 2D Ising universality class.
We investigate the phase transition of the four-dimensional single-component ${\ensuremath{\phi}}^{4}$ theory on the lattice using the tensor renormalization group method. We have examined the hopping parameter dependence of the bond energy and the vacuum condensation of the scalar field $⟨\ensuremath{\phi}⟩$ at a finite quartic coupling $\ensuremath{\lambda}$ on large volumes up to V=10244 in order to detect the spontaneous breaking of the Z2 symmetry. Our results show that the system undergoes the weak first-order phase transition at a certain critical value of the hopping parameter. We also make a comparative study of the three-dimensional ${\ensuremath{\phi}}^{4}$ theory and find that the properties of the phase transition are consistent with the universality class of the three-dimensional Ising model.
We investigate the metal-insulator transition of the (1+1)-dimensional Hubbard model in the path-integral formalism with the tensor renormalization group method. The critical chemical potential ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{\mathrm{c}}$ and the critical exponent $\ensuremath{\nu}$ are determined from the $\ensuremath{\mu}$ dependence of the electron density in the thermodynamic limit. Our results for ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{\mathrm{c}}$ and $\ensuremath{\nu}$ show consistency with an exact solution based on the Bethe ansatz. Our encouraging results indicate the applicability of the tensor renormalization group method to the analysis of higher-dimensional Hubbard models.
A careful Monte Carlo investigation of the phase transition very close to the critical point (T -> Tc, H -> 0) in relatively large d = 3, s = 1/2 Ising lattices did produce critical exponents beta = 0.3126(4) =~ 5/16, delta^{-1} = 0.1997(4) =~ 1/5 and gamma_{3D} = 1.253(4) =~ 5/4. Our results indicate that, within experimental error, they are given by simple fractions corresponding to the linear interpolations between the respective two-dimensional (Onsager) and four-dimensional (mean field) critical exponents. An analysis of our inverse susceptibility data chi^{-1}(T) vs. /T - Tc/ shows that these data lead to a value of gamma_{3D} compatible with gamma' = gamma and Tc = 4.51152(12), while gamma values obtained recently by high and low temperature series expansions and renormalization group methods are not.
We have performed large-scale numerical simulations for the ± J Ising model on the simple cubic and the square lattices with asymmetric weight of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic bonds. The Monte Carlo renormalization group method is used to estimate T c , γ/ν, β/ν and ν at various points along the phase boundary between ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases including the tricritical point. The obtained values of T c and the resulting phase diagrams of the simple cubic and the square lattices are much more accurate than those estimated so far. In the simple cubic lattice, we find evidence for the possibility that universality of the ferromagnetic critical exponents holds along the critical line except at the tricritical point, while weak universality holds even at the tricritical point. Weak universality seems to hold also in the square lattice.
The critical behavior of the Ising model on a fractal lattice, which has the Hausdorff dimension log_{4}12≈1.792, is investigated using a modified higher-order tensor renormalization group algorithm supplemented with automatic differentiation to compute relevant derivatives efficiently and accurately. The complete set of critical exponents characteristic of a second-order phase transition was obtained. Correlations near the critical temperature were analyzed through two impurity tensors inserted into the system, which allowed us to obtain the correlation lengths and calculate the critical exponent ν. The critical exponent α was found to be negative, consistent with the observation that the specific heat does not diverge at the critical temperature. The extracted exponents satisfy the known relations given by various scaling assumptions within reasonable accuracy. Perhaps most interestingly, the hyperscaling relation, which contains the spatial dimension, is satisfied very well, assuming the Hausdorff dimension takes the place of the spatial dimension. Moreover, using automatic differentiation, we have extracted four critical exponents (α, β, γ, and δ) globally by differentiating the free energy. Surprisingly, the global exponents differ from those obtained locally by the technique of the impurity tensors; however, the scaling relations remain satisfied even in the case of the global exponents.
