Abstract
The critical behaviour of the one-dimensional q-state Potts model with long-range interactions decaying with distance r as r −(1+σ) has been studied in the wide range of parameters 0 < σ ≤ 1 and 1 16 ≤ q ≤ 64. A transfer matrix has been constructed for a truncated range of interactions for integer and continuous q, and finite range scaling has been applied. Results for the phase diagram and the correlation length critical exponent are presented. Short title: Critical behaviour of the 1D LR q-state Potts model Recently, finite range scaling (FRS) appeared as an efficient method to deal with various discrete one-dimensional models with long range (LR) interactions (Glumac and Uzelac, 1989, 1991). The aim of the present study is to apply it to the onedimensional q-state Potts model with LR interactions, defined by the hamiltonian
