Generalized Transformation for Decorated Spin Models

The paper discusses the transformation of decorated Ising models into an effective \textit{undecorated} spin models, using the most general Hamiltonian for interacting Ising models including a long range and high order interactions. The inverse of a Vandermonde matrix with equidistant nodes $[-s,s]$ is used to obtain an analytical expression of the transformation. This kind of transformation is very useful to obtain the partition function of decorated systems. The method presented by Fisher is also extended, in order to obtain the correlation functions of the decorated Ising models transforming into an effective undecorated Ising models. We apply this transformation to a particular mixed spin-(1/2,1) and (1/2,2) square lattice with only nearest site interaction. This model could be transformed into an effective uniform spin-$S$ square lattice with nearest and next-nearest interaction, furthermore the effective Hamiltonian also include combinations of three-body and four-body interactions, particularly we considered spin 1 and 2.

Two dimensional XXZ-Ising model on square-hexagon lattice

We study a two dimensional XXZ-Ising on square-hexagon (4-6) lattice with spin-1/2. The phase diagram of the ground state energy is discussed, shown two different ferrimagnetic states and two type of antiferromagnetic states, beside of a ferromagnetic state. To solve this model, it could be mapped into the eight-vertex model with union jack interaction term. Imposing exact solution condition we find the region where the XXZ-Ising model on 4-6 lattice have exact solutions with one free parameter, for symmetric eight-vertex model condition. In this sense we explore the properties of the system and analyze the competition of the interaction parameters providing the region where it has an exact solution. However the present model does not satisfy the \textit{free fermion} condition, unless for a trivial situation. Even so we are able to discuss their critical points region, when the exactly solvable condition is ignored.

The high temperature expansion of the classical $XYZ$ chain

We present the $β$-expansion of the Helmholtz free energy of the classical $XYZ$ model, with a single-ion anisotropy term and in the presence of an external magnetic field, up to order $β^{12}$. We compare our results to the numerical solution of Joyce's [Phys. Rev. Lett. 19, 581 (1967)] expression for the thermodynamics of the $XXZ$ classical model, with neither single-ion anisotropy term nor external magnetic field. This comparison shows that the derived analytical expansion is valid for intermediate temperatures such as $kT/J_x \approx 0.5$. We show that the specific heat and magnetic susceptibility of the spin-2 antiferromagnetic chain can be approximated by their respective classical results, up to $kT/J \approx 0.8$, within an error of 2.5%. In the absence of an external magnetic field, the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic chains have the same classical Helmholtz free energy. We show how this two types of media react to the presence of an external magnetic field.

High-temperature series expansion of the Helmholtz free energy of the quantum spin-S XYZ chain

We consider the $XYZ$ chain model of arbitrary spin $S$ in the high temperature region, with external magnetic field and single-ion anisotropy term. Our high-temperature expansion of the Helmholtz free energy is analytic in the parameters of the model for $S$, which may range from 1/2 to the classical limit of infinite spin ($S\to \infty$). Our expansion is carried out up to order $(J β)^5$. Our results agree with numerical results of the specific heat per site for $S=1/2$, obtained by the Bethe ansatz, with $h=0$ and D=0. Finally, we show that the magnetic susceptibility and magnetization of the quantum model can be well approximated by their classical analog in this region of temperature.

Thermodynamics of the quantum spin-S XXZ chain

The thermodynamics of the spin-$S$ anisotropic quantum $XXZ$ chain with arbitrary value of $S$ and unitary norm, in the high-temperature regime, is reported. The single-ion anisotropy term and the interaction with an external magnetic field in the $z$-direction are taken into account. We obtain, for arbitrary value of $S$, the $β$-expansion of the Helmholtz free energy of the model up to order $β^6$ and show that it actually depends on $\frac{1}{S(S+1)}$. Its classical limit is obtained by simply taking $S\to \infty$. At $h=0$ and D=0, our high temperature expansion of the classical model coincides with Joyce's exact solution\cite{joyce_prl}. We study, in the high temperature region, some thermodynamic quantities such as the specific heat and the magnetic susceptibility as functions of spin and verify for which values of $S$ those thermodynamic functions behave classically. Their finite temperature behavior is inferred from interpolation of their high- and low-temperature behavior, and shown to be in good agreement with numerical results. The finite temperature behavior is shown for higher values of spin.

Thermodynamics of the S=1 spin ladder as a composite S=2 chain model

A special class of S=1 spin ladder hamiltonians, with second- neighbor exchange interactions and with anisotropies in the $z$-direction, can be mapped onto one-dimensional composite S=2 (tetrahedral S=1) models. We calculate the high temperature expansion of the Helmoltz free energy for the latter class of models, and show that their magnetization behaves closely to that of standard XXZ models with a suitable effective spin $S_{eff}$, such that $S_{eff}(1+S_{eff})=< \vec{\bf S}_i^2>$, where ${\bf S}_i$ refers to the components of spin in the composite model. It is also shown that the specific heat per site of the composite model, on the other hand, can be very different from that of the effective spin model, depending on the parameters of the hamiltonian.

A Comment on the beta-expansion of s=1/2 and s=1 Ising Models

The purpose of the present work is to apply the method recently developed in reference [chain_m] to the spin-1 Ising chain, showing how to obtain analytical $β$-expansions of thermodynamical functions through this formalism. In this method, we do not solve any transfer matrix-like equations. A comparison between the $β$-expansions of the specific heat and the magnetic susceptibility for the $s=1/2$ and $s=1$ one-dimensional Ising models is presented. We show that those expansions have poorer convergence when the auxiliary function of the model has singularities.

High Temperature Expansion for a Chain Model

We consider an arbitrary translationally invariant chain model with nearest neighbors interaction and satisfying periodic boundary condition. The approach developed here allows a thermodynamic description of the chain model directly in terms of grand potential per site. This thermodynamic function is derived from an auxiliary function constructed only from open connected sub-chains. In order to exemplify its application and how this approach works we consider the Heisenberg XXZ model. We obtain the coefficients of the high temperature expansion of the free energy per site of the model up to third order.

Analytical Results of the One-Dimensional Hubbard Model in the High Temperature Limit

We investigate the grand potential of the one-dimensional Hubbard model in the high temperature limit, calculating the coefficients of the high temperature expansion ($β$-expansion) of this function up to order $β^4$ by an alternative method. The results derived are analytical and do not involve any perturbation expansion in the hopping constant, being valid for arbitrary density of electrons in the one-dimensional model. In the half-filled case, we compare our analytical results for the specific heat and the magnetic susceptibility, in the high-temperature limit, with the ones obtained by Beni {\it et al.} and Takahashi's integral equations, showing that the latter result does not take into account the complete energy spectrum of the one-dimensional Hubbard model. The exact integral solution by Jüttner {\it et al}. is applied to the determination of the range of validity of our expansion in $β$ in the half-filled case, for several different values of $U$.

Free Fermions at Finite Temperature: An Application of the Non-Commutative Algebra

Charret et. al. applied the properties of the Grassmann generators to develop a new method to calculate the coefficients of the high temperature expansion of the grand canonical partition function of self-interacting fermionic models in any d-dimensions (d>=1). The method explores the anti-commuting nature of fermionic fields and avoids the calculation of the fermionic path integral. We apply this new method to the relativistic free Dirac fermions and recover the known results in the literature.

Grassmann Algebra and Fermions at Finite Temperature

For any d-dimensional self-interacting fermionic model, all coefficients in the high-temperature expansion of its grand canonical partition function can be put in terms of multivariable Grassmann integrals. A new approach to calculate such coefficients, based on direct exploitation of the grassmannian nature of fermionic operators, is presented. We apply the method to the soluble Hatsugai-Kohmoto model, reobtaining well-known results.

Analytical Results for the Grand-Canonical Partition Function for Unidimensional Hubbard Model up to Order $β^5$

We calculate the exact analytical coefficients of the $β$ expansion of the grand-canonical partition function of the unidimensional Hubbard model up to order $β^5$, using an alternative method, based on properties of the Grassmann algebra. The results derived are non-perturbative and no restrictions on the set of parameters that characterize the model are required. By applying this method we obtain analytical results for the thermodynamical quantities, in the high-temeprature limit, for arbitrary density of electrons in the unidimensional chain.

Grand Canonical Partition Function for Unidimensional Systems: Application to Hubbard Model up to Order beta^3

We exploit the grassmannian nature of the variables involved in the path integral expression of the grand canonical partition function for self--interacting fermionic models to show, in one-space dimension, a general relation among the terms of it expansion in the high temperature limit and a combination of co-factors of a suitable matrix with commuting entries. As an application, we apply this framework to calculate the exact coefficients, up to order β^3, of the expansion of the grand canonical partition function for the Hubbard model in d=(1+1) in the high temperature limit. The results are valid for any set of parameters that characterize the model.
