Abstract

Abstract We formulate the problem of the universality class investigation using machine learning. We chose an example of the universality class of the two-dimensional 4-state Potts model. There are four known models within the universality class – the 4-state Potts model, the Baxter-Wu model, the Ashkin-Teller model, and the Turban model. All four of them together are not equivalent in the Hamiltonian representation, in the lattice symmetry, and the layout of spins on the lattice. We generate statistically independent datasets for all models using the same Monte Carlo technique. The machine learning methods will be used for the analysis of the universality class of models based on generated datasets.

Machine learning domain adaptation in spin models with continuous phase transitions

Vladislav Chertenkov, Щур Лев Николаевич

The main question raised in the article is whether a neural network trained on a spin lattice model in one universality class can be used to test a model in another universality class. The quantities of interest are the critical phase transition temperature and the correlation length exponent. In other words, the question of transfer learning is how "universal" the trained network is and under what conditions. For this purpose, we applied a supervised learning procedure to three two-dimensional models for which critical properties are precisely known: The Ising model, the four-state Potts model, and the Baxter-Wu model. We consider two datasets: One with spin configurations and one with binding energy configurations. We find that estimates of the critical temperature agree well with the known results for both datasets, but not with the results of cross-testing using the energy datasets of the two models: The four-state Potts model and the Ising model. Estimates of the critical length exponent are less regular, and appear to be more accurate for energy datasets. A good example is the cross-testing using the energy dataset between the Ising model and the Baxter-Wu model in both training and testing directions.

Monte Carlo renormalization-group study of the Baxter-Wu model

M. A. Novotny, David Paul Landau, Robert H. Swendsen

The effectiveness of a Monte Carlo renormalization-group method is studied by applying it to the Baxter-Wu model (Ising spins on a triangular lattice with three-spin interactions). The calculations yield three relevant eigenvalues in good agreement with exact or conjectured results. We demonstrate that the method is capable of distinguishing between models expected to be in the same universality class, when one of them (four-state Potts) exhibits logarithmic corrections to the usual power-law singularities and the other (Baxter-Wu) does not.

On universality in ageing ferromagnets

Christophe Chatelain

This work is a contribution to the study of universality in out-of-equilibrium lattice models undergoing a second-order phase transition at equilibrium. The experimental protocol that we have chosen is the following: the system is prepared in its high-temperature phase and then quenched at the critical temperature T c . We investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations two quantities that are believed to take universal values: the exponent λ/ z obtained from the decay of autocorrelation functions, and the asymptotic value of the fluctuation–dissipation ratio X ( t , s ). This protocol was applied to the Ising model, the 3-state clock model and the 4-state Potts model on square, triangular and honeycomb lattices and to the Ashkin–Teller model at the point belonging at equilibrium to the 3-state Potts model universality class and to a multispin Ising model and the Baxter–Wu model both belonging to the 4-state Potts model universality class at equilibrium.

Comprehensive studies on the universality of BKT transitions—machine-learning study, Monte Carlo simulation, and level-spectroscopy method

Hiromi Otsuka, Kenta Shiina, Yutaka Okabe

Abstract Comprehensive studies are made on the six-state clock universality of two models using several approaches. We apply the machine-learning technique of phase classification to the antiferromagnetic (AF) three-state Potts model on the square lattice with ferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) coupling and the triangular AF Ising model with anisotropic NNN coupling to study two Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless transitions. We also use the Monte Carlo simulation paying attention to the ratio of correlation functions of different distances for these two models. The obtained results are compared with those of the previous studies using the level-spectroscopy method. We directly show the six-state clock universality for totally different systems with the machine-learning study.

Universality in the two-dimensional dilute Baxter-Wu model

Alexandros Vasilopoulos, Nikolaos G. Fytas, Erol Vatansever +2 more

We study the question of universality in the two-dimensional spin-1 Baxter-Wu model in the presence of a crystal field Δ. We employ extensive numerical simulations of two types, providing us with complementary results: Wang-Landau sampling at fixed values of Δ and a parallelized variant of the multicanonical approach performed at constant temperature T. A detailed finite-size scaling analysis in the regime of second-order phase transitions in the (Δ,T) phase diagram indicates that the transition belongs to the universality class of the four-state Potts model. Previous controversies with respect to the nature of the transition are discussed and attributed to the presence of strong finite-size effects, especially as one approaches the pentacritical point of the model.

Monte Carlo simulation of quantum Potts model

Chengxiang Ding, Yangcheng Wang, Youjin Deng +1 more

Using Monte Carlo simulations in the frame of stochastic series expansion (SSE), we study the three-state quantum Potts model. The cluster algorithm we used is a direct generalization of that for the quantum Ising model. The simulations include the one dimensional and two dimensional ferromagnetic three-state quantum Potts model and the two dimensional antiferromagnetic three-state quantum Potts model. Our results show that the phase transition of the one dimensional ferromagnetic quantum Potts model belongs to the same universality class of the two dimensional classical Potts model, the two dimensional ferromagnetic quantum Potts model undergoes a first order transition, which is also in analogy to its classical correspondence. The phase transition of the antiferromagnetic quantum Potts model is continuous, whose universality class belongs to the three-dimensional classical XY model, owing to an `emergent' O(2) symmetry at the critical point, although its ordered phase breaks the Z_6 symmetry.
