Abstract

Abstract We consider the correlation functions between spin-tensors for the Ising model under transverse external magnetic field. We show that they are related to Toeplitz minors. We evaluate these correlations in the large separation limit and compare them with the spin–spin correlation functions.

Theory of Toeplitz Determinants and the Spin Correlations of the Two-Dimensional Ising Model. III

Hung Cheng, Tai Tsun Wu

We study the asymptotic behavior, for large separations, of the spin-spin correlation function $〈{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{0,0}{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{M,N}〉$ in the two-dimensional Ising model, where the two spins are not necessarily on the same row. Besides the limiting value for infinite separation, which is the square of the spontaneous magnetization, we evaluate the two leading terms in the asymptotic expression in each of the two cases $T<{T}_{c}$ and $T>{T}_{c}$. It is found that the nearest singularity of the generating function for the correlation is quite simple in the case $T>{T}_{c}$, but much more complicated for $T<{T}_{c}$. In an Appendix, we also give exactly in a very simple form the correlation $〈{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{0,0}{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{N,N}〉$ for symmetrical Ising lattice at the critical temperature ${T}_{c}$.

Theory of Toeplitz Determinants and the Spin Correlations of the Two-Dimensional Ising Model. II

Barry M. McCoy, Tai Tsun Wu

We study in detail the asymptotic behavior, for large separations, of the correlation between two spins in the same row of the two-dimensional Ising model with the particular value of a purely imaginary magnetic field $H=\frac{1}{2}i\ensuremath{\pi}\mathrm{kT}$. We derive the partition function and the magnetization per spin first proposed by Lee and Yang and find that the correlation function approaches its limiting value exponentially. In contrast to the case of no magnetic field, the approach is shown to be oscillatory rather than monotonic. The first three terms of the asymptotic behavior are explicitly given. The correlation function is obtained by expressing it as a block Toeplitz determinant whose behavior for large separation is studied by solving a pair of coupled Wiener-Hopf sum equations.

Theory of Toeplitz Determinants and the Spin Correlations of the Two-Dimensional Ising Model. I

We study in detail the asymptotic behavior, for large separations, of the correlation between two spins in the case of the two-dimensional Ising model without magnetic field. In the limit of infinite separation, this correlation is equal to the square of the spontaneous magnetization per spin. This paper is devoted to answering the question how, for fixed temperature, the correlation approaches this limiting value. The investigation is restricted to the situation where the two spins under consideration lie on the same row of the two-dimensional lattice. There are three distinct cases where the fixed temperature is above, below, or equal to the critical temperature or the Curie temperature. In the first two cases, the limiting value is approached exponentially as a function of the separation, while at the critical temperature the correlation behaves asymptotically as the inverse fourth root of the separation. In this paper, we evaluate exactly the first four terms of the asymptotic expansion in the first case, the first three terms in the second case, and the coefficients of the terms proportional to the -\textonequarter{} and the $\ensuremath{-}\frac{9}{4}$ powers of the separation in the third case. All these results are obtained by first expressing the correlation as a Toeplitz determinant, and the method used is capable of giving in principle the entire asymptotic expansion for large classes of such determinants, when the size of the determinant approaches infinity. The explicit results for the two-dimensional Ising model also serve as an example where the prescription of summing the leading terms, or the most divergent terms, fails.

Exact correlation functions of Bethe lattice spin models in external magnetic fields

Chin‐Kun Hu, N. Sh. Izmailian

We develop a transfer matrix method to compute exactly the spin-spin correlation functions $〈{s}_{0}{s}_{n}〉$ of Bethe lattice spin models in the external magnetic field $h$ and for any temperature $T.$ We first compute $〈{s}_{0}{s}_{n}〉$ for the most general spin-$S$ Ising model, which contains all possible single-ion and nearest-neighbor pair interactions. This general spin-$S$ Ising model includes the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ simple Ising model and the Blume-Emery-Griffiths (BEG) model as special cases. From the spin-spin correlation functions, we obtain functions of correlation length $\ensuremath{\xi}(T,h)$ for the simple Ising model and BEG model, which show interesting scaling and divergent behavior as $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{h}0$ and $T$ approaches the critical temperature ${T}_{c}.$ Our method to compute exact spin-spin correlation functions may be applied to other Ising-type models on Bethe and Bethe-like lattices.

On the Toeplitz Determinant for Spin-Pair Correlation Function of 2-D Ising Model

Tohru Morita

For a two-dimensional Ising model with non-crossing interactions, the correlation function of two spins separated by n lattice spacings is shown to be expressed by an n ×n determinant, instead of a 2n ×2n determinant, if the two spins are on an axis about which the system has some symmetry.

Theory of Toeplitz Determinants and the Spin Correlations of the Two-Dimensional Ising Model. V

Barry M. McCoy, Tai Tsun Wu

In a previous paper of this series, we studied $\mathfrak{P}(\overline{\ensuremath{\sigma}})$, the probability that the average boundary spin for a half-plane of Ising spins is $\overline{\ensuremath{\sigma}}$. We extend our study of such functions by generalizing the previous derivation to any magnetic system and using them to relate the magnetic behavior at the critical isotherm to the spin-spin correlations at the critical temperature. We also clarify the meaning of the secondary maxima previously found in $\mathfrak{P}(\overline{\ensuremath{\sigma}})$ by a more accurate calculation and by examining the magnetization on interior rows of the half-plane. These considerations show that $\mathfrak{P}(\overline{\ensuremath{\sigma}})$ is more properly to be considered as the sum of two separate spin probability functions. The various ways in which the thermodynamic limit may be taken and the effects that these different limiting procedures have on $\mathfrak{P}(\overline{\ensuremath{\sigma}})$ are discussed in detail. The influence of boundary conditions on spin probability functions is studied by reversing the sign of one column of horizontal bonds. We compute the additional free energy resulting from the misfit bonds and use this to show that $\mathfrak{P}(\overline{\ensuremath{\sigma}})$ is no longer bimodal but is rectangular for $|\overline{\ensuremath{\sigma}}|$ less than the boundary spontaneous magnetization. Finally, we present in graphical form numerical integrations of the boundary magnetization and susceptibility.

We study the asymptotic behavior, for large separations, of the spin-spin correlation function $〈{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{0,0}{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{M,N}〉$ in the two-dimensional Ising model, where the two spins are not necessarily on the same row. Besides the limiting value for infinite separation, which is the square of the spontaneous magnetization, we evaluate the two leading terms in the asymptotic expression in each of the two cases T<TcT<{T}_{c}T<Tc​ and T>TcT>{T}_{c}T>Tc​. It is found that the nearest singularity of the generating function for the correlation is quite simple in the case T>TcT>{T}_{c}T>Tc​, but much more complicated for T<TcT<{T}_{c}T<Tc​. In an Appendix, we also give exactly in a very simple form the correlation $〈{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{0,0}{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{N,N}〉$ for symmetrical Ising lattice at the critical temperature Tc{T}_{c}Tc​.

We develop a transfer matrix method to compute exactly the spin-spin correlation functions 〈s0sn〉〈{s}_{0}{s}_{n}〉〈s0​sn​〉 of Bethe lattice spin models in the external magnetic field hhh and for any temperature T.T.T. We first compute 〈s0sn〉〈{s}_{0}{s}_{n}〉〈s0​sn​〉 for the most general spin-SSS Ising model, which contains all possible single-ion and nearest-neighbor pair interactions. This general spin-SSS Ising model includes the spin-12\frac{1}{2}21​ simple Ising model and the Blume-Emery-Griffiths (BEG) model as special cases. From the spin-spin correlation functions, we obtain functions of correlation length $\ensuremath{\xi}(T,h)$ for the simple Ising model and BEG model, which show interesting scaling and divergent behavior as $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{h}0$ and TTT approaches the critical temperature Tc.{T}_{c}.Tc​.
