Application of the phenomenological renormalization to percolation and lattice animals in dimension 2

Abstract

We recall the relation between finite-size scaling and the phenomenological renormalization. We calculate the exponent ν in dimension 2 for percolation and find a good agreement with the conjecture 4/3 of den Nijs. For lattice animals, we construct transfer matrices to calculate the correlation lengths and we find ν = 0.640 8 ± 0.000 3 in dimension 2.

Correlation-length exponent in two-dimensional percolation and Potts model

P. D. Eschbach, Dietrich Stauffer, Hans Jürgen Herrmann

Following Reynolds et al. and Swendsen, Monte Carlo renormalization calculations were made for percolation on the triangular lattice for rescaling up to 10000\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}10000, and for the 4-state Potts model on square lattices up to 64\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}64. In contrast to earlier studies, our comparison with the den Nijs hypothesis gives good agreement with its prediction $y=\frac{3}{4}$ for percolation but bad agreement with its prediction $y=\frac{3}{2}$ for the 4-state Potts model.

Transfer-matrix approach to percolation and phenomenological renormalization

Bernard Derrida, J. Vannimenus

A transfer-matrix method is used to calculate the correlation length for strips of finite width in the bond and site percolation problem. From the knowledge of these correlation lengths we compute the thresholds and the critical exponent ν by the phenomenological renormalization method.

Finite-size scaling study of the two-dimensional Ising spin glass

David A. Huse, I. Morgenstern

We have calculated finite-size correlation lengths for strips of the square-lattice Ising spin glass using the transfer-matrix method. In order to minimize sampling errors we study strip lengths up to 5\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{6}$ lattice spacings. A phenomenological renormalization-group analysis indicates that there are strong corrections to simple power-law scaling near the zero-temperature critical point, as is to be expected near a lower critical dimension. We examine models with Gaussian, exp(-${J}^{2}$/2), and exponential, exp(-\ensuremath{\Vert}J\ensuremath{\Vert}), distributions of couplings; the Gaussian distribution shows stronger finite-size corrections. The correlation-length exponent is estimated to be \ensuremath{\nu}=4.2\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.5, although we do not want to rule out the possibility that \ensuremath{\nu} is significantly larger than this.

Renormalization-group approach for critical percolation behavior in two dimensions

Y Yuge

A renormalization-group approach using a scaling transformation in real space is applied to the critical behavior of two-dimensional percolation systems. In various approximations for the triangular-site lattice and the square-bond lattice, the location of the fixed point and the correlation-length exponent are calculated by determining the behavior of the probabilities under a scale transformation. The fixed points for all approximations for the two lattices are found to be in complete agreement with known exact results for the critical percolation probability.

Critical exponent for 3-D percolation conductivity, revisited

Catalin D Mitescu, M. J. Musolf

When we apply finite-size-scaling analysis to Monte-Carlo calculations of the electrical conductivity of simple-cubic, bond- and site-percolation lattices, we obtain a correlation-length critical exponent in good agreement with current values but, for the conductivity exponent, we find t = 2.06 ± 0.16, significantly higher than the value currently cited. This new value appears, however, in essential agreement with a recently proposed theoretical conjecture.
