Using exact partition functions and finite-size corrections for the Ising model on finite square, plane triangular, and honeycomb lattices, we obtain universal finite-size scaling functions for the specific heat, the internal energy, and the free energy of the Ising model on these lattices with exact non-universal metric factors.
For the free models of statistical mechanics on torus, exact asymptotic expansions of the free energy, the internal energy and the specific heat in the vicinity of the critical point are found. It is shown that there is direct relation between the terms of the expansion and the Kronecker's double series. The latter can be expressed in terms of the elliptic theta-functions in all orders of the asymptotic expansion.
Finite-size scaling, finite-size corrections, and boundary effects for critical systems have attracted much attention in recent years. Here we derive exact finite-size corrections for the free energy F and the specific heat C of the critical ferromagnetic Ising model on the M x 2N square lattice with Brascamp-Kunz (BK) boundary conditions [J. Math. Phys. 15, 66 (1974)] and compared such results with those under toroidal boundary conditions. In the limit N \to \infty we obtain the expansion of the free energy for infinitely long strip with BK boundary conditions. Our results are consistent with the conformal field theory prediction for the mixed boundary conditions by Cardy [Nucl. Phys. {\bf B 275}, 200 (1986)] although the definitions of boundary conditions in two cases are different in one side of the long strip.
Let f, U and C represent, respectively, the free energy, the internal energy and the specific heat of the critical Ising model on the square M x N lattice with periodic boundary conditions. We find that N f and U are well-defined odd function of 1/N. We also find that ratios of subdominant (N^(-2 i - 1)) finite-size corrections amplitudes for the internal energy and the specific heat are constant. The free energy and the internal energy at the critical point are calculated asymtotically up to N^(-5) order, and the specific heat up to N^(-3) order.
We have derived analytic expressions for the amplitudes of correction terms in the critical free energy and inverse correlation length expansions for square, honeycomb, and plane-triangular lattices in strip geometry. We have found that ratio of amplitudes for all of these lattices is universal. We have also obtained similar expansions for the ground state energy and the first energy gap of a critical quantum spin chain and find that the amplitude ratios have the same values.
We establish an intriguing connection between geometry and thermodynamics in the critical q-state Potts model on two-dimensional lattices, using the q-state bond-correlated percolation model (QBCPM) representation. We find that the number of clusters of the QBCPM has an energy-like singularity for q different from 1, which is reached and supported by exact results, numerical simulation, and scaling arguments. We also establish that the finite-size correction to the number of bonds, has no constant term and explains the divergence of related quantities as q --> 4, the multicritical point. Similar analyses are applicable to a variety of other systems.
The exact solution of a general Z(4) gauge Potts model with a single and double plaquette representation of the action is found on a subspace of gauge-coupling parameters on the square and triangular lattices. The two Ising-type critical lines of a second-order phase transition for the model on a square lattice are found. For the model on a triangular lattice the two critical surfaces of an Ising-type and two nontrivial lines of a second-order phase transition with different critical behavior than on the critical surfaces are found. It is shown that a two dimensional (2D) general Z(4) gauge Potts model with single and double plaquette representation of the action and a 2D spin-3/2 Ising model belong to the same universality class.
It is shown that the percolation model of hydrogen-bonded crystals, which is a 6-vertex model with bond defects, is completely equivalent with an 8-vertex model in an external electric field. Using this equivalence we solve exactly a particular 6-vertex model with bond defects. The general solution for the Bethe-like lattice is also analyzed.
We develop a transfer matrix method to compute exactly the spin-spin correlation functions of Bethe lattice spin models in the external magnetic field h and for any temperature T. We first compute the correlation function for the most general spin - S Ising model, which contains all possible single-ion and nearest-neighbor pair interactions. This general spin - S Ising model includes the spin-1/2 simple Ising model and the Blume-Emery-Griffiths (BEG) model as special cases. From the spin-spin correlation functions, we obtain functions of correlation length for the simple Ising model and BEG model, which show interesting scaling and divergent behavior as T approaches the critical temperature. Our method to compute exact spin-spin correlation functions may be applied to other Ising-type models on Bethe and Bethe-like lattices.
Using an iteration technique, we obtain exact expressions for the free energy and the magnetization of an Ising model on a two - layer Bethe lattice with intralayer coupling constants J1 and J2 for the first and the second layer, respectively, and interlayer coupling constant J3 between the two layers; the Ising spins also couple with external magnetic fields, which are different in the two layers. We obtain exact phase diagrams for the system.
We consider a general spin-1/2 Ising model with multisite interaction on the Husimi lattice with the coordination number q and derive an analytical expression of correlation functions for stable fixed points of the corresponding recurrence relation. We show that for q=2 our model transforms to the two-state vertex model on the Bethe lattice with q=3 and for the case q=3, with only nearest neighbour interactions, we transform our model to the corresponding model on the Bethe lattice with q=3, using the Yang-Baxter equations.
The Ising spin - S model on recursive p - polygonal structures in the external magnetic field is considered and the general form of the free energy and magnetization for arbitrary spin is derived. The exact relation between the free energies on infinite entire tree and on its infinite "interior" is obtained.
We investigate the Z(2) gauge model on a generalized Bethe lattice with three plaquette representation of the action. We obtain the cascade of phase transitions according to Feigenbaum scheme leading to chaotic states for some values of parameters of the model. The duality between this gauge model and three site Ising spin model on Husimi tree is shown. The Lyapunov exponent as a new order parameter for the characterization of the model in the chaotic region is considered. The line of the second order phase transition, which corresponds to the points of the first period doubling bifurcation, is also obtained.
The spin - 3/2 Ising model on a square lattice is investigated. It is shown that this model is reducible to an eight - vertex model on a surface in the parameter space spanned by coupling constants J, K, L and M. It is shown that this model is equivalent to an exactly solvable free fermion model along two lines in the parameter space.
For the first time we present the consideration of the antiferromagnetic Ising model in case of fully developed chaos and obtain the exact connection between this model and chaotic repellers. We describe the chaotic properties of this statistical mechanical system via the invariants characterizing a fractal set and show that in chaotic region it displays phase transition at {\it positive} "temperature" $ β_c = 0.89 $. We obtain the density of the invariant measure on the chaotic repeller.
