Equivalent definitions of (dis)continuous phase transitions at criticality

Consider a classical lattice model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ and suppose that the system undergoes a phase transition as you lower the temperature, i.e., increase $\beta$. The most general definition of a ...

How can I find the critical dimension for the Blum-Capel model near the tricritical point in mean field theory?

I believe that I have found the critical dimension for the critical temperatures on the critical line (that is, where the second order phase transition occurs), which is $D=4$. This is because the ...

Is there existing research suggesting that critical systems' power spectra are correlated with their eigenspectra?

I am interested in how the spatial and temporal spectral exponents – in other words the exponents of the power spectrum and eigenspectrum – of a high dimensional system at criticality are related. It ...

What is the critical temperature for a BKT transition in the 2D quantum XY model with $S=1$ (not $S=1/2$)?

What is the critical temperature for a BKT transition in the 2D quantum XY model with $S=1$ (not $S=1/2$)? For instance, the classical XY model has KTc/J = 0.898 and the quantum XY model with S=1/2 ...

How to quantify frustration for spin models with long range interactions?

Consider the following Hamiltonian: $$ H=-\sum_{i\neq j}J_{ij}S_iS_j-\sum_i H_iS_i $$ where $S_i\in\{-1,1\}$, and the summed pair $i,j$ can be any two distinct indices (not necessary adjacent spins)....

Why the correlation function of 2D classical XY model is written so?

2D classical XY model $$H = -J\cos(\theta_{i}-\theta_{j})%$$ is famous for Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition. This is because of the difference of correlation function between hot and ...

What is the central charge of the disordered $q$-state Potts model, for large $q$?

The central charge of a model, is, heuristically related to the number of microscopic degrees of freedom. Is there a simple argument for the asymptotic behavior of the central charge for the ...

Two-dimensional Ising model for square lattices

Consider Onsager's exact solution of two-dimensional Ising model for square lattices with nearest neighbour interaction energy ‘J ‘being equal in the horizontal and vertical directions. At the ...
