Non-universal exponents and marginal operators via a Monte Carlo renormalisation group
Jorge Chahine, J. R. Drugowich de Felício, Nestor Caticha
The authors study the critical exponents, eigenoperators and the phase diagram of the N=2 Ashkin-Teller (AT) model in two dimensions using a Monte Carlo renormalisation group. They pay special attention to the marginal operator responsible for the non-universal behaviour. The crossover exponent is measured and used to numerically calculate the thermal exponent of the eight-vertex model and of the AT model near the Potts-four-point, giving better results than a direct determination, since the crossover operator is not affected by the additional AT marginal operators.
