The behavior of the spherical model of a ferromagnet with an interaction energy between the magnetic spins which varies with distance as $\frac{1}{{r}^{d+\ensuremath{\sigma}}}$ (where
d is the dimensionality of the lattice and $\ensuremath{\sigma}>0$) is analyzed. It is shown that the model exhibits a ferromagnetic transition in one and two dimensions, providing $0<\ensuremath{\sigma}<d$. (The usual spherical model with nearest-neighbor interactions does not have a transition in one and two dimensions.) The critical-point behavior is investigated. It is found that the singularities in the specific heat and susceptibility are dependent on $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ and
d, but the behavior of the magnetization is independent of $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ and
d. In three dimensions the susceptibility diverges as ${(T\ensuremath{-}{T}_{c})}^{\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\gamma}}$, where $\ensuremath{\gamma}=1$ for $0<\ensuremath{\sigma}<\frac{3}{2}$, $\ensuremath{\gamma}=\frac{\ensuremath{\sigma}}{(3\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\sigma})}$ for $\frac{3}{2}<\ensuremath{\sigma}<2$ and $\ensuremath{\gamma}=2$ for $\ensuremath{\sigma}>2$. The asymptotic form of the spin-spin correlation function $\ensuremath{\Gamma}(\mathrm{r})$ is studied in the neighborhood of the critical temperature
Tc. At
T=Tc, $\ensuremath{\Gamma}(\mathrm{r})$ decays for large
r as $\frac{1}{{r}^{d\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\sigma}}}$. Several two-dimensional models with long-range interactions falling off as
r21 in certain directions only are also investigated.
In this paper dynamical critical phenomena of the Gaussian model with long-range interactions decaying as on d-dimensional hypercubic lattices (d = 1, 2, and 3) are studied. First, the critical points are exactly calculated, and it is found that the critical points depend on the value of δ and the range of interactions. Then the critical dynamics is considered. We calculate the time evolutions of the local magnetizations and the spin-spin correlation functions, and further the dynamic critical exponents are obtained. For one-, two- and three-dimensional lattices, it is found that the dynamic critical exponents are all which agrees with the result when only considering nearest neighboring interactions, and that they are all δ if It shows that the dynamic critical exponents are independent of the spatial dimensionality but depend on the value of δ.
In this paper dynamical critical phenomena of the Gaussian model with long-range interactions decaying as 1/rd+δ (δ> 0) on d-dimensional hypercubic lattices (d = 1, 2, and 3) are studied. First, the critical points are exactly calculated, and it is found that the critical points depend on the value of δ and the range of interactions. Then the critical dynamics is considered. We calculate the time evolutions of the local magnetizations and the spin-spin correlation functions, and further the dynamic critical exponents are obtained. For one-, two- and three-dimensional lattices, it is found that the dynamic critical exponents are all z = 2 if δ> 2, which agrees with the result when only considering nearest neighboring interactions, and that they are all δ if 0 <δ< 2. It shows that the dynamic critical exponents are independent of the spatial dimensionality but depend on the value of δ.
