The phase transition of the directed polymer on disordered hierarchical lattices

The directed polymer on disordered hierarchical lattices is studied using an exact renormalization scheme. The phase transition is studied and a hyperscaling relation is derived. The fixed distributions of the renormalized energies are obtained numerically. The specific heat and associated exponents are computed from the fixed distributions.     

Potts ferromagnet: Transformations and critical exponents in planar hierarchical lattices

We prove that the duality transformation for a Potts ferromagnet on two-rooted planar hierarchical lattices (HL) preserves the thermal eigenvalue. This leads to a relation between the correlation length critical exponents of a HL and its corresponding dual lattice. Using hyperscaling, we show that their specific heat critical exponents coincide. For a smaller class of HL—namely of diamond and tress types—we prove that another transformation also preserves and .     

Nonuniversality and analytical continuation in moments of directed polymers on hierarchical lattices

We prove the moments of the directed polymer partition function GZ, using an exact position space renormalization group scheme on a hierarchical lattice. After sufficient iteration the characteristic functionf(n)=lnGZⁿ of the probability (Z) converges to a stable limitf ^*(n). For smalln the limiting behavior is independent of the initial distribution, while for largen,f ^*(n) is completely determined by it and is thus nonuniversal. There is a smooth crossover between the two regimes for small effective dimensions, and the nonlinear behavior of the small moments can be used to extract information on the universal scaling properties of the distribution. For large effective dimensions there is a sharp transition between the two regimes, and analytical continuation from integer moments ton0 is not possible. Replica arguments can account for most features of the observed results.     

Ising model on mixed two-dimensional lattices

We inform results on physical and topological magnitudes related to the ground level of Ising model on mixed two-dimensional lattices of coordination numbers 4 (Kagomé lattices) and 5 (five-point star lattices). We consider little clusters of size N, where N represents the total number of spins, subject to periodic boundary conditions. On these systems we randomly distribute ±J nearest-neighbor interactions (+J: antiferromagnetic, −J: ferromagnetic (F)). Concentration x of F interactions is varied in the interval (0,1). Two different methods are used to obtain results reported here. First, a numerical method related to multiple replicas. Second, an analytical method based on probabilistic analysis of flat and curved plaquettes. Both methods are complementary to each other. Initially, this study is restricted to calculate frustration of plaquettes and bonds, energy and bond order parameter at T=0. The results of magnitudes informed here are compared with the similar ones obtained for honeycomb, square and triangular lattices.     

Strange attractor in the Potts spin glass on hierarchical lattices

The spin-glass q-state Potts model on d  -dimensional diamond hierarchical lattices is investigated by an exact real space renormalization group scheme. Above a critical dimension _dl(q)$d_l(q)$ for q>2$q>2$, the coupling constants probability distribution flows to a low-temperature strange attractor   or to the high-temperature paramagnetic fixed point, according to the temperature is below or above the critical temperature _Tc(q,d)$T_c(q,d)$. The strange attractor was investigated considering four initial different distributions for q=3$q=3$ and d=5$d=5$ presenting strong robustness in shape and temperature interval suggesting a condensed phase with algebraic decay.     

Spontaneous magnetization of the Ising model on a layered square lattice

We have studied the Ising model on a layered square lattice with four different coupling constants and two different magnetic moments. The partition function at zero magnetic field is derived exactly. We propose a formula for the spontaneous magnetization which agrees with the exact low-temperature series expansion up to the 16th order and reduces to the exact result of Au-Yang and McCoy in a special case.     

Nonconcavity of the magnetization in Ising ferromagnets

Some Ising ferromagnets having nonconcave magnetization are presented as counterexamples to the often assumed case of concave magnetization.     

Zero temperature magnetization of a one-dimensional spin glass

We calculate the zero temperature magnetizationm of a one-dimensional Ising spin glass is a weak magnetic fieldh. We show thatmCh _x and give closed expressions for the constantC and the exponentx which both depend on the probability distribution of nearest-neighbor interactions.     

Corner spontaneous magnetization

Details are given of a new method allowing an exact calculation of the spontaneous magnetization in the corner as well as along the edge at an arbitrary distance of the corner for a rectangular planar Ising ferromagnet.     

Spontaneous magnetization of randomly dilute ferromagnets

We consider Ising ferromagnets on random subgraphs of the square lattice. These are obtained by independent random selections either of sites or of bonds. We assume that for each site (or, respectively, bond) the probability of being selected exceeds the critical percolation probability. Then, at sufficiently low temperatures and zero external field, spontaneous magnetization occurs. Some further related results are obtained.     

Phase transitions on fractal lattices with long-range interactions

A fractal latticeF is defined here to comprise all points of the forma + ma+ m² a+ ... +m^qa^(q), whereq is a nonnegative integer anda, a,..., a^(q)A, whereA is a finite set of points in some Euclidean space. Providedm is not too small (in particular,m must be at least 2), the dimension ofF is shown to beD = log n/logm, wheren is the number of points inA. It is shown further that an Ising model onF, with a ferromagnetic pair interaction r^– between spins separated by a distancer, has a phase transition ifD < < 2D. On the other hand, for > 2D, provided a certain condition which rules out periodic lattices is satisfied, there can be no finite-temperature transition leading to spontaneous magnetization.

在有效场理论和切断近似框架内，选择自旋S=1的二维方格子，研究横向随机晶场Ising模型的相图和磁化行为，重点是横向随机晶场浓度和晶场比率对相图和磁化的影响.给出了i>T-D_x空间的相图和m-T空间的磁化图.在晶场稀疏情况下，负晶场方向存在临界温度的峰值，正方向可出现重入现象.晶场比率取+0.5和-0.5时，磁有序相范围缩小，特别是晶场比率取-0.5时，随晶场浓度的降低，临界温度峰值从横向晶场负方向渡越到正方向.固定某一负晶场值，不同晶场比率的磁化行为有明显差异.同时与纵向稀疏晶场Ising模型结果进行有意义的比较. 关键词： 横向随机晶场Ising模型 相图 磁化行为

Spontaneous magnetization of the Ising model on a 4–8 lattice

A formula for the spontaneous magnetization is proposed. The result agrees with the exact low-temperature series expansions up to the 12th order.     

On the critical behavior of the magnetization in high-dimensional Ising models

We derive rigorously general results on the critical behavior of the magnetization in Ising models, as a function of the temperature and the external field. For the nearest-neighbor models it is shown that ind4 dimensions the magnetization is continuous atT _c and its critical exponents take the classical values=3 and=1/2, with possible logarithmic corrections atd=4. The continuity, and other explicit bounds, formally extend tod>3 1/2. Other systems to which the results apply include long-range models ind=1 dimension, with 1/|x–y| couplings, for which 2/(–1) replacesd in the above summary. The results are obtained by means of differential inequalities derived here using the random current representation, which is discussed in detail for the case of a nonvanishing magnetic field.Research supported in part by NSF grant PHY-8301493 A02, and by a John S.

Stability of hierarchical interfaces in a random field model

We study a hierarchical model for interfaces in a random-field ferromagnet. We prove that in dimensionD>3, at low temperatures and for weak disorder, such interfaces are rigid. Our proof uses renormalization group transformations for stochastic sequences.     

Construction of simple approximants for the structure factor and magnetization for the simple cubic Ising model

A renormalization group method is used to construct approximants for the magnetization,m, and the static structure factor, (q), for the simple cubic Ising model. Using the best values for the thermal critical index, the transition temperature, and the nearest-neighbor correlation function as input, we obtain recursion relations form and (q) which lead to reasonable results over a wide range of temperatures and wave numbers.
