Abstract

We construct solvable models on the honeycomb lattice by combining three faces of the square lattice solvable models into a hexagon face. These models contain two independent, anisotropy controlling, spectral parameters and their transfer matrices with different spectral parameters commute with each other. At the critical point, the finite-size scaling of the transfer matrix spectrum for the honeycomb lattice models is written in terms of the quantities obtained from the finite-size scaling of the square lattice solvable models. We study in detail the phase transition properties of two models based on the interacting hard square model and the magnetic hard square model, respectively. The models, in general, can be extended to the IRF version of the Z-invariant models of Baxter.

Phase Transition in the n>2 Honeycomb O(n) Model

Wenan Guo, Henk W. J. Blöte, Fa Yueh Wu

We determine the phase diagram of the O(n) loop model on the honeycomb lattice, in particular, in the range n>2, by means of a transfer-matrix method. We find that, contrary to the prevailing expectation, there is a line of critical points in the range between n = 2 and infinity. This phase transition, which belongs to the three-state Potts universality class, is unphysical in terms of the O(n) spin model, but falls inside the physical region of the n-component corner-cubic model. It can also be interpreted in terms of the ordering of a system of soft particles with hexagonal symmetry.

Finite-size corrections and scaling dimensions of solvable lattice models: An analytic method

Paul A. Pearce, Andreas Klümper

A general analytic method for calculating finite-size corrections, central charges, and scaling dimensions of solvable lattice models is presented. The approach is to solve the special functional equations or inversion identities satisfied by the commuting row transfer matrices of these lattice models at criticality. For purposes of illustration, the method is applied to calculate the central charge c=4/5 and leading magnetic scaling dimension x=2/15 of hard hexagons. These numbers are rational due to special values of Rogers dilogarithms.

PHASE TRANSITIONS IN THE TWO-DIMENSIONAL O(3) MODEL

Henk W. J. Blöte, Wenan Guo

We use Monte Carlo, transfer-matrix and finite-size scaling methods to investigate two-dimensional O (n) models with n > 2, in particular the case n = 3 which includes the classical Heisenberg model. Depending on the type of interaction and the lattice structure, two different types of phase transitions are present. One type resembles the hard-hexagon transition and occurs in the loop representation of the honeycomb O (n) model. The other type is a first-order transition which occurs for spin-spin interactions that are strongly nonlinear in the neighbor-spin products. When the nonlinearity is decreased, the first-order line ends in a critical point. The existence of the first-order line is in agreement with mean-field theory as well as with high- and low-temperature approximations.

Critical behaviour and conformal anomaly of the O(n) model on the square lattice

Henk W. J. Blöte, Bernard Nienhuis

Finite-size scaling and transfer-matrix techniques are used to determine the conformal anomaly and critical exponents of O(n) models on the square lattice. These calculations were performed on five branches of critical points parametrised by n. The results for two of the branches agree with the known universal properties of the O(n) model as derived for the honeycomb lattice. Finite-size convergence is poor for most of the third branch, so that in this case the classification in terms of known models is uncertain. The authors' data show that the fourth branch can be interpreted in terms of a combination of a low-temperature O(n) and a critical Ising model. Finally, the numerical results for the O(n) model on the remaining branch agree accurately with the known results for the low-temperature O(n+1) model. They prove this equivalence by means of an exact mapping.

Thermal phase transition of generalized Heisenberg models for SU(N) spins on square and honeycomb lattices

Takafumi J. Suzuki, Kenji Harada, Haruhiko Matsuo +2 more

We investigate thermal phase transitions to a valence-bond solid phase in $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ Heisenberg models with four- or six-body interactions on a square or honeycomb lattice, respectively. In both cases, a thermal phase transition occurs that is accompanied by rotational symmetry breaking of the lattice. We perform quantum Monte Carlo calculations in order to clarify the critical properties of the models. The estimated critical exponents indicate that the universality classes of the square- and honeycomb-lattice cases are identical to those of the classical $XY$ model with a ${Z}_{4}$ symmetry-breaking field and the three-state Potts model, respectively. In the square-lattice case, the thermal exponent, $\ensuremath{\nu}$, monotonically increases as the system approaches the quantum critical point, while the values of the critical exponents, $\ensuremath{\eta}$ and $\ensuremath{\gamma}/\ensuremath{\nu}$, remain constant. From a finite-size scaling analysis, we find that the system exhibits weak universality, because the ${Z}_{4}$ symmetry-breaking field is always marginal. In contrast, $\ensuremath{\nu}$ in the honeycomb-lattice case exhibits a constant value, even in the vicinity of the quantum critical point, because the ${Z}_{3}$ field remains relevant in the SU(3) and SU(4) cases.

On the free energy of solvable lattice models

Doron Gepner

We conjecture the inversion relations for thermalized solvable interaction round the face (IRF) two dimensional lattice models. We base ourselves on an ansatz for the Baxterization described in the 90's. We solve these inversion relations in the four main regimes of the models, to give the free energy of the models, in these regimes. We use the method of Baxter in the calculation of the free energy of the hard hexagon model. We believe these results to be quite general, shared by most of the known IRF models. Our results apply equally well to solvable vertex models. Using the expression for the free energy we calculate the critical exponent α, and from it the dimension of the perturbing (thermal) operator in the fixed point conformal field theory (CFT). We show that it matches either the coset O/G or G/O, where O is the original CFT used to define the model and G is some unknown CFT, depending on the regime. This agrees with known examples of such models by Huse and Jimbo et al.
