Partition function zeros at first-order phase transitions: A general analysis
We present a general, rigorous theory of partition function zeros for lattice spin models depending on one complex parameter. First, we formulate a set of natural assumptions which are verified for a large class of spin models in a companion paper [5]. Under these assumptions, we derive equations whose solutions give the location of the zeros of the partition function with periodic boundary con...
متن کاملPartition Function Zeros at First-order Phase Transitions: Pirogov-sinai Theory
This paper is a continuation of our previous analysis [2] of partition functions zeros in models with first-order phase transitions and periodic boundary conditions. Here it is shown that the assumptions under which the results of [2] were established are satisfied by a large class of lattice models. These models are characterized by two basic properties: The existence of only a finite number o...
متن کاملZeros of the partition function for a continuum system at first-order transitions.
We extend the circle theorem on the zeros of the partition function to a continuum system. We also calculate the exact zeros of the partition function for a finite system where the probability distribution for the order parameter is given by two asymmetric Gaussian peaks. For the temperature driven first order transition in the thermodynamic limit, the locus and the angular density of zeros are...
متن کاملGeneralized circle theorem on zeros of partition function at asymmetric first order transitions.
We present a generalized circle theorem which includes the Lee-Yang theorem for symmetric transitions as a special case. It is found that zeros of the partition function can be written in terms of discontinuities in the derivatives of the free energy. For asymmetric transitions, the locus of the zeros is tangent to the unit circle at the positive real axis in the thermodynamic limit. For finite...
متن کاملA General Theory of Lee-Yang Zeros in Models with First-Order Phase Transitions
We present a general, rigorous theory of Lee-Yang zeros for models with first-order phase transitions and derive formulas for the positions and the density of the zeros. In particular, we show that for models without symmetry, the curves on which the zeros lie are generically not circles, and can have topologically nontrivial features, such as bifurcation. Our results are illustrated in three m...
