Abstract

We performed Monte Carlo simulations of the two-dimensional q-state Potts model with q=10, 15, and 20 to study the energy and magnetization cumulants in the ordered and disordered phase at the first-order transition point $β_t$. By using very large systems of size 300 x 300, 120 x 120, and 80 x 80 for q=10, 15, and 20, respectively, our numerical estimates provide practically (up to unavoidable, but very small statistical errors) exact results which can serve as a useful test of recent resummed large-q expansions for the energy cumulants by Bhattacharya `et al.' [J. Phys. I (France) 7 (1997) 81]. Up to the third order cumulant and down to q=10 we obtain very good agreement, and also the higher-order estimates are found to be compatible.

Large-$q$ expansion of the energy and magnetization cumulants for the two-dimensional $q$-state Potts model

Arisue, H, Tabata, K

We have calculated the large-$q$ expansion for the energy cumulants and the magnetization cumulants at the phase transition point in the two-dimensional $q$-state Potts model to the 21st or 23rd order in $1/\\sqrt{q}$ using the finite lattice method. The obtained series allow us to give very precise estimates of the cumulants for $q>4$ on the first order transition point. The result confirms us the correctness of the conjecture by Bhattacharya et al. on the asymptotic behavior not only of the energy cumulants but also of the magnetization cumulants for $q \\to 4_+$.

FIRST ORDER PHASE TRANSITION OF THE Q -STATE POTTS MODEL IN TWO DIMENSIONS

H. Arisue, Kanehito Tabata

We have calculated the large-$q$ series of the energy cumulants, the magnetization cumulants and the correlation length at the first order phase transition point both in the ordered and disordered phases for the $q$-state Potts model in two dimensions. The series enables us to estimate the numerical values of the quantities more precisely by a factor of $10^2 - 10^4$ than the Monte Carlo simulations. From the large-$q$ series of the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix, we also find that the excited states form a continuum spectrum and there is no particle state at the first order phase transition point.

2D Potts-Model Correlation Lengths: Numerical Evidence for ξ o = ξ d at β t

W Janke, S Kappler

We have studied spin-spin correlation functions in the ordered phase of the two-dimensional q -state Potts model with q = 10, 15, and 20 at the first-order transition point β t . Through extensive Monte Carlo simulations we obtain strong numerical evidence that the correlation length in the ordered phase agrees with the exactly known and recently numerically confirmed correlation length in the disordered phase: ξ o (β t ) = ξ d (β t ). As a by-product we find the energy moments in the ordered phase at β t in very good agreement with a recent large q -expansion.

PHASE TRANSITIONS IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL RANDOM POTTS MODELS

Bertrand Berche, Christophe Chatelain

The influence of uncorrelated, quenched disorder on the phase transition of two dimensional Potts models will be reviewed. After an introduction where the conditions of relevance of quenched randomness on phase transitions are exemplified by experimental measurements, the results of perturbative and numerical investigations in the case of the Potts model will be presented. The Potts model is of particular interest, since it can have in the pure case a second-order or a first-order transition, depending on the number of states per spin. In 2D, transfer matrix calculations and Monte Carlo simulations were used in order to check the validity of conformal invariance methods in disordered systems. These techniques were then used to investigate the universality class of the disordered Potts model, in both regimes of the pure model phase transitions. A test of replica symmetry became possible through a study of multiscaling properties and a detailed analysis of the probability distribution of the correlation functions was also made possible.
