Fermionic Path Integrals and Two-Dimensional Ising Model with Quenched Site Disorder

Abstract

The notion of the integral over the anticommuting Grassmann variables is applied to analyze the fermionic structure of the 2D Ising model with quenched site dilution. In the $N$-replica scheme, the model is explicitly reformulated as a theory of interacting fermions on a lattice. For weak dilution, the continuum-limit approximation implies the log-log singularity in the specific heat near $T_c$.

Fermionic Structure of Two-Dimensional Ising Model with Quenched Site Dilution

V. N. Plechko

We apply a new anticommuting path integral technique to clarify the fermionic structure of the 2D Ising model with quenched site dilution. In the N-replica scheme, the model is explicitly reformulated as a theory of interacting fermions on a lattice. An unusual feature is that the leading term of interaction in the exact lattice theory is of order 2N in fermions, where N is the number of replicas. The continuum-limit approximation near Tc for weak dilution produces, however, an effective four-fermion interaction. In particular, this implies the doubled-logarithmic singularity in the specific heat near Tc for weak site dilution. The exact value of the initial slope is also obtained.

Anticommuting Integrals and Fermionic Field Theories for Two-Dimensional Ising Models

V. N. Plechko

We review the applications of the integral over anticommuting Grassmann variables (nonquantum fermionic fields) to the analytic solutions and the field-theoretical formulations for the 2D Ising models. The 2D Ising model partition function $Q$ is presentable as the fermionic Gaussian integral. The use of the spin-polynomial interpretation of the 2D Ising problem is stressed, in particular. Starting with the spin-polynomial interpretation of the local Boltzmann weights, the Gaussian integral for $Q$ appears in the universal form for a variety of lattices, including the standard rectangular, triangular, and hexagonal lattices, and with the minimal number of fermionic variables (two per site). The analytic solutions for the correspondent 2D Ising models then follow by passing to the momentum space on a lattice. The symmetries and the question on the location of critical point have an interesting interpretation within this spin-polynomial formulation of the problem. From the exact lattice theory we then pass to the continuum-limit field-theoretical interpretation of the 2D Ising models. The continuum theory captures all relevant features of the original models near $T_c$. The continuum limit corresponds to the low-momentum sector of the exact theory responsible for the critical-point singularities and the large-distance behaviour of correlations. The resulting field theory is the massive two-component Majorana theory, with mass vanishing at $T_c$. By doubling of fermions in the Majorana representation, we obtain as well the 2D Dirac field theory of charged fermions for 2D Ising models. The differences between particular 2D Ising lattices are merely adsorbed, in the field-theoretical formulation, in the definition of the effective mass.

Fermionic Path Integrals and Analytic Solutions for Two-Dimensional Ising Models

V. N. Plechko

The notion of the integral over the anticommuting Grassmann variables (nonquantum fermionic fields) seems to be the most powerful tool in order to extract the exact analytic solutions for the 2D Ising models on simple and more complicated lattices, which is the subject of a discussion in this report.

Free Fermions and Two-Dimensional Ising Model

V. N. Plechko

The two-dimensional Ising model is representable as a lattice free-fermion field theory in terms of the integral over anticommuting Grassmann variables. The exact solution in a zero magnetic field then follows by evaluating Gaussian fermionic integral for partition function. It is argued that by switching on of a non-zero magnetic field the non-local and non-Gaussian fermionic terms appear in the action, which rather imply approximating methods of the analysis.
