Finite-size corrections in the Ising model with special boundary conditions
نویسنده
چکیده
The Ising model in two dimensions with the special boundary conditions of Brascamp and Kunz (BK) is analyzed. We derive exact finite-size corrections for the free energy F of the critical ferromagnetic Ising model on the M ×N square lattice with Brascamp–Kunz boundary conditions [H.J. Brascamp, H. Kunz, J. Math. Phys. 15 (1974) 66]. We show that finite-size corrections strongly depend not only on the boundary conditions but also on the shape and pattern of the lattice. In the limit N →∞ we obtain the expansion of the free energy and the inverse correlation lengths for infinitely long strip with BK boundary conditions. Our results are consistent with the conformal field theory prediction for the mixed boundary conditions. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Finite-size scaling and corrections in the Ising model with Brascamp-Kunz boundary conditions
The Ising model in two dimensions with the special boundary conditions of Brascamp and Kunz is analyzed. Leading and subdominant scaling behavior of the Fisher zeros are determined exactly. The exact finite-size scaling, with corrections, of the specific heat is determined both at critical and effective critical ~pseudocritical! points. The shift exponents associated with the scaling of these e...
متن کاملExact finite-size scaling with corrections in the two-dimensional Ising model with special boundary conditions
The two-dimensional Ising model with Brascamp-Kunz boundary conditions has a partition function more amenable to analysis than its counterpart on a torus. This fact is exploited to exactly determine the full finite-size scaling behaviour of the Fisher zeroes of the model. Moreover, exact results are also determined for the scaling of the specific heat at criticality, for the specific-heat peak ...
متن کاملExact finite-size corrections for the square-lattice Ising model with Brascamp-Kunz boundary conditions.
Finite-size scaling, finite-size corrections, and boundary effects for critical systems have attracted much attention in recent years. Here we derive exact finite-size corrections for the free energy F and the specific heat C of the critical ferromagnetic Ising model on the Mu x 2 Nu square lattice with Brascamp-Kunz (BK) boundary conditions [J. Math. Phys. 15, 66 (1974)] and compare such resul...
متن کاملTriple Spin Interaction and Entanglement
In quantum theory Hamilton operators with spininteractions have a long history [1 – 5]. Triple spin interaction have been studied by several authors [6 – 19]. Iglói [6] investigated an Ising model with three-spin interaction by finite-size scaling and applying free boundary conditions. Vanderzande and Iglói [7] studied the critical behaviour and logarithmic corrections of a quantum model with t...
متن کاملFinite-size scaling of the entanglement entropy of the quantum Ising chain with homogeneous, periodically modulated and random couplings
Using free-fermionic techniques we study the entanglement entropy of a block of contiguous spins in a large finite quantum Ising chain in a transverse field, with couplings of different types: homogeneous, periodically modulated and random. We carry out a systematic study of finite-size effects at the quantum critical point, and evaluate subleading corrections both for open and for periodic bou...
