Domain State of the ANNNI model in Two Dimensions

We have examined the spin ordering of an axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising (ANNNI) model in two dimensions (2D) near above the antiphase ($\langle 2 \rangle$ phase). We considered an $N_R$-replica system and calculated an overlap function $q_m$ between different replicas having used a cluster heat bath (CHB) Monte Carlo method. We determined transition temperature between $\langle 2 \rangle$ phase and a floating incommensurate (IC) phase as $T_{C2}/J = 0.89 \pm 0.01$ with frustration ratio $κ(\equiv -J_2/J_1) = 0.6$. We found that the spin state at $T \gtrsim T_{C2}$ may be called as a domain state, because the spin structure is characterized by a sequentially arranged four types of domains with different $\langle 2 \rangle$ structures. In the domain state, the 2D XY symmetry of the spin correlation in the IC phase weakly breaks and the diversity of the spin arrangement increases as $T \rightarrow T_{C2}$. The Binder ratio $g_L$ exhibits a depression at $T \sim T_{C2}$ and the quasi-periodic spin structure, which is realized in the IC phase, becomes diverse at $T \gtrsim T_{C2}$. We discussed that the domain state is stable against the thermal fluctuation which brings a two-stage development of the spin structure at low temperatures.

Instability of group formation through indirect reciprocity under imperfect information and implementation error

Indirect reciprocity is a key mechanism behind the evolution of cooperation. Oishi et al. analytically showed the formation of two exclusive groups under the KANDORI assessment rule in the case of perfect information and no implementation error, regardless of the population size $N$. Here, we numerically show the formation of many exclusive groups under the JUDGING assessment rule in the same case. Introducing degrees of exclusive groups, we numerically examine the stability of the group formation under imperfect information and implementation error.

Absence of a classical long-range order in $S=1/2$ Heisenberg antiferromagnet on triangular lattice

We study the quantum phase transition of an $S=1/2$ anisotropic $α$ $(\equiv J_z/J_{xy})$ Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice. We calculate the sublattice magnetization and the long-range helical order-parameter and their Binder ratios on finite systems with $N \leq 36$ sites. The $N$ dependence of the Binder ratios reveals that the classical 120$^{\circ}$ Néel state occurs for $α\lesssim 0.55$, whereas a critical collinear state occurs for $1/α\lesssim 0.6$. This result is at odds with a widely-held belief that the ground state of a Heisenberg antiferromagnet is the 120$^{\circ}$ Néel state, but it also provides a possible mechanism explaining experimentally observed spin liquids.

Window measurements of simulations in random systems

Numerical studies in random systems are plagued with strong finite-size effects and boundary effects. We introduce a window-measurement method as a practical solution to these difficulties. We observe physical quantities only within a subsystem located in the midst of a whole system and scale them with the correlation length estimated in the subsystem. Both equilibrium data and nonequilibrium data with different system sizes and different window sizes fall onto a single scaling function. It suggests that the correction-to-scaling terms become very small. We confirm the validity in the $\pm J$ Heisenberg spin glass model in three dimensions. The spin-glass and chiral-glass transition temperatures are estimated to be very close to each other.

Binder Parameter of a Heisenberg Spin-Glass Model in Four Dimensions

We studied the phase transition of the $\pm J$ Heisenberg model with and without a random anisotropy on four dimensional lattice $L\times L\times L\times (L+1)$ $(L\leq 9)$. We showed that the Binder parameters $g(L,T)$'s for different sizes do not cross even when the anisotropy is present. On the contrary, when a strong anisotropy exists, $g(L,T)$ exhibits a steep negative dip near the spin-glass phase transition temperature $T_{\rm SG}$ similarly to the $p-$state infinite-range Potts glass model with $p \geq 3$, in which the one-step replica-symmetry-breaking (RSB) occurs. We speculated that a one-step RSB-like state occurs below $T_{\rm SG}$, which breaks the usual crossing behavior of $g(L,T)$.

Defect Energy with Conjugate Boundary Conditions in Spin Glass Models in Two Dimensions

We calculate the naive defect energy $ΔE$ of Ising spin glass(SG) models in two dimensions using conjugate boundary conditions. We predict that, in the $\pm J$ model, the averaged value $\bar{ΔE}$ converges to some non-zero value in the thermodynamic limit in contrast with $\bar{ΔE} = 0$ in the Gaussian model. This prediction is incompatible with previous ones but supports a recent Monte Carlo prediction of the presence of the SG phase at finite temperatures in the $\pm J$ Ising model. We also calculate the interface free energy to confirm it.

Low Temperature Phase of Asymmetric Spin Glass Model in Two Dimensions

We investigate low temperature properties of a random Ising model with $+J$ and $-aJ (a \neq 1)$ bonds in two dimensions using a cluster heat bath method. It is found that the Binder parameters $g_L$ for different sizes of the lattice come together at almost the same temperature implying the occurrence of the spin glass(SG) phase transition. From results of finite size scaling analyses, we suggest that the SG phase really occurs at low temperatures which is characterized by a power law decay of spin correlations.
