Dimension of Hamiltonian & Diagonalizability
Often in condensed matter physics literature, one encounters a Hamiltonian that goes something like :
$$
H = \sum_{i=1}^{n} J_{i}\ S_{i}^{z} S_{i+1}^{z},
$$
where $J_{i}$ are the coupling constants, $...

Why are the autocorrelations larger for the energy at the critical temperature?
Considering a simulation with the Swendsen-Wang algorithm for the 3-D cubic lattice I wanted to have a look at the auto-correlations, and expecting it to be quite small considering Swendsen-Wang is a ...
