Grassmannization of the 3D Ising Model

Abstract

The application of Feynman’s diagrammatic technique to classical link models with local constraints seems impossible due to (i) the absence of a free Gaussian theory on top of which the perturbative expansion can be constructed, and (ii) Dyson’s collapse argument, rendering the perturbative expansion divergent. However, we show for the classical 3D Ising model how both problems can be circumvented using a Grassmann representation. This makes it possible to obtain an expansion of the spin correlation function and the magnetic susceptibility in terms of the inverse temperature in the thermodynamic limit, through which the values for the critical temperature and critical index g are evaluated within 1.6% and 5.4% of their accepted values, respectively. Our work is a straightforward adaptation of the theory previously developed in an earlier paper.

Field theoretical approach to spin models

Feng Liu, Zhenhao Fan, Zhipeng Sun +2 more

We developed a systematic non-perturbative method base on Dyson-Schwinger theory and the derivable theory for Ising model at broken phase. Based on these methods, we obtain critical temperature and spin spin correlation beyond mean field theory. The spectrum of Green function obtained from our methods become gapless at critical point, so the susceptibility become divergent at T c . The critical temperature of Ising model obtained from this method is fairly good in comparison with other non-cluster methods. It is straightforward to extend this method to more complicate spin models for example with continue symmetry.

Grassmann techniques applied to classical spin systems

Maxime Clusel, Jean-Yves Fortin

We review problems involving the use of Grassmann techniques in the field of classical spin systems in two dimensions.These techniques are useful to perform exact correspondences between classical spin Hamiltonians and field-theory fermionic actions.This contributes to a better understanding of critical behavior of these models in term of non-quadratic effective actions which can be seen as an extension of the free fermion Ising model.Within this method, identification of bare masses allows for an accurate estimation of critical points or lines and which is supported by Monte-Carlo results and diagrammatic techniques.

Diagrammatics for the inverse problem in spin systems and simple liquids

Tobias Kühn, Frédéric van Wijland

Abstract Modeling complex systems, like neural networks, simple liquids or flocks of birds, often works in reverse to textbook approaches: given data for which averages and correlations are known, we try to find the parameters of a given model consistent with it. In general, no exact calculation directly from the model is available and we are left with expensive numerical approaches. A particular situation is that of a perturbed Gaussian model with polynomial corrections for continuous degrees of freedom. Indeed perturbation expansions for this case have been implemented in the last 60 years. However, there are models for which the exactly solvable part is non-Gaussian, such as independent Ising spins in a field, or an ideal gas of particles. We implement a diagrammatic perturbative scheme in weak correlations around a non-Gaussian yet solvable probability weight. This applies in particular to spin models (Ising, Potts, Heisenberg) with weak couplings, or to a simple liquid with a weak interaction potential. Our method casts systems with discrete degrees of freedom and those with continuous ones within the same theoretical framework. When the core theory is Gaussian it reduces to the well-known Feynman diagrammatics.

Free Fermions and Two-Dimensional Ising Model

V. N. Plechko

The two-dimensional Ising model is representable as a lattice free-fermion field theory in terms of the integral over anticommuting Grassmann variables. The exact solution in a zero magnetic field then follows by evaluating Gaussian fermionic integral for partition function. It is argued that by switching on of a non-zero magnetic field the non-local and non-Gaussian fermionic terms appear in the action, which rather imply approximating methods of the analysis.

The Grassmann Representation of Ising Model

K. Nojima

The integral representations for the partition functions of Ising models are surveyed. The connection with the underlying fermion field in the two-dimensional case is discussed. The relation between the low and the high-temperature expansions is examined.

Grassmannization of classical models

Lode Pollet, Mikhail N. Kiselev, Nikolay V. Prokof'ev +1 more

Applying Feynman diagrammatics to non-fermionic strongly correlated models with local constraints might seem generically impossible for two separate reasons: (i) the necessity to have a Gaussian (non-interacting) limit on top of which the perturbative diagrammatic expansion is generated by Wick’s theorem, and (ii) Dyson’s collapse argument implying that the expansion in powers of coupling constant is divergent. We show that for arbitrary classical lattice models both problems can be solved/circumvented by reformulating the high-temperature expansion (more generally, any discrete representation of the model) in terms of Grassmann integrals. Discrete variables residing on either links, plaquettes, or sites of the lattice are associated with the Grassmann variables in such a way that the partition function (as well as all correlation functions) of the original system and its Grassmann-field counterpart are identical. The expansion of the latter around its Gaussian point generates Feynman diagrams. Our work paves the way for studying lattice gauge theories by treating bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom on equal footing.
