Canonical solution of a system of long-range interacting rotators on a lattice

Abstract

The canonical partition function of a system of rotators (classical X-Y spins) on a lattice, coupled by terms decaying as the inverse of their distance to the power alpha, is analytically computed. It is also shown how to compute a rescaling function that allows us to reduce the model, for any d-dimensional lattice and for any alpha<d, to the mean-field (alpha=0) model.

Universal behavior in the static and dynamic properties of the $α$-XY model

Andrea Giansanti, Daniele Moroni, Alessandro Campa

The $α$-XY model generalizes, through the introduction of a power-law decaying potential, a well studied mean-field hamiltonian model with attractive long-range interactions. In the $α$-model, the interaction between classical rotators on a lattice is gauged by the exponent $α$ in the couplings decaying as $r^α$, where $r$ are distances between sites. We review and comment here a few recent results on the static and dynamic properties of the $α$-model. We discuss the appropriate $α$ dependent rescalings that map the canonical thermodynamics of the $α$-model into that of the mean field model. We also show that the chaotic properties of the model, studied as a function of $α$ display an universal behaviour.

Metastable states in a class of long-range Hamiltonian systems

Alessandro Campa, Andrea Giansanti, Daniele Moroni +1 more

We numerically show that metastable states, similar to the quasi-stationary states found in the so-called Hamiltonian Mean Field Model, are also present in a generalized model in which N classical spins (rotators) interact through ferromagnetic couplings decaying as r−α, where r is their distance over a regular lattice. Scaling laws with N are briefly discussed.

Rotators with Long-Range Interactions: Connection with the Mean-Field Approximation

Francisco A. Tamarit, Celia Anteneodo

We analyze the equilibrium properties of a chain of ferromagnetically coupled rotators which interact through a force that decays as ${r}^{\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\alpha}}$ where $r$ is the interparticle distance and $\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\ge}0$. By integrating the equations of motion we obtain the microcanonical time averages of both the magnetization and the kinetic energy. We detect three different regimes depending on whether $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ belongs to the intervals $[0,1)$, $(1,2)$, or $(2,\ensuremath{\infty})$. For $0<\ensuremath{\alpha}<1$, the microcanonical averages agree, after a scaling, with those obtained in the canonical ensemble for the mean-field case $(\ensuremath{\alpha}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}0)$. This correspondence offers a mathematically tractable way of dealing with systems governed by slowly decaying long-range interactions.

Critical Exponents for Long-Range Interactions. II

Masuo Suzuki

A general formulation for the expansion of the partition function in inverse powers of spin dimensionality n is given in the classical n-vector model in the presence of an inhomogeneous magnetic field. The critical exponents δ and η have been evaluated through the first order of 1/n, as functions of dimensionality d and potential-range σ. The universality and scaling relations on the critical exponents have been partially verified.

High-Temperature Partition Functions and Classical Simulatability of Long-Range Quantum Systems

Jorge Sánchez-Segovia, Jan T. Schneider, Alvaro Martin Alhambra

Long-range quantum systems, in which the interactions decay as 1 / r α , are of increasing interest due to the variety of experimental setups in which they naturally appear. Motivated by this, we study fundamental properties of long-range spin systems in thermal equilibrium, focusing on the weak regime of α > D . Our main result is a proof of analyticity of their partition functions at high temperatures, which allows us to construct a classical algorithm with subexponential runtime exp  ( O ( log 2  ( N / ϵ ) ) ) that approximates the log-partition function to small additive error ϵ . As by-products, we establish the equivalence of ensembles and the Gaussianity of the density of states, which we verify numerically in both the weak and strong long-range regimes. This also yields constraints on the appearance of various classes of phase transitions, including thermal, dynamical, and excited-state ones. Our main technical contribution is the extension to the quantum long-range regime of the convergence criterion for cluster expansions of Kotecký and Preiss.

Quasi-stationary-state temperature for interacting Heisenberg rotators: a finite-size scaling analysis

Antonio Rodríguez, Fernando Dantas Nobre, Constantino Tsallis

Abstract We study, by means of first-principle molecular-dynamics, the temperature T QSS of the quasi-stationary state (QSS) of a d -dimensional classical inertial α -Heisenberg ferromagnetic model, consisting of a set of rotators with interactions decaying with distance as r − α ( α ⩾ 0 ) . We find, through detailed finite-size calculations, the scaling relation T QSS − T ∞ ∝ N − β , where T ∞ ≡ U − 1 / 2 , with energy per particle U < U c ( U c = 5 / 6 ), and total number of particles N , which holds for the very long-range interactions regime 0 ⩽ α / d ⩽ 1 , in which the QSS exists. We show that the scaling exponent β does not depend on U but only in the quotient α / d , being β ( α / d ) ≃ 1 for 0 ⩽ α / d ⩽ 0.5 , and decaying linearly for α / d > 0.5 , so <
