Finite Size Scaling

چکیده
We study the Bose-Einstein condensation phase transition in a weakly interacting gas through a perturbative analysis of finite systems. In both the grand canonical and the canonical ensembles, perturbation theory suffers from infrared divergences and cannot directly determine the transition temperature in the thermodynamic limit. However, in conjunction with finite size scaling, perturbation theory provides a powerful calculation tool. We implement it here to estimate a shift in the transition temperature in the canonical ensemble consistent with grand canonical calculations.

Consistency of Microcanonical and Canoni - cal Finite - Size Scaling
Typically, in order to obtain finite-size scaling laws for quantities in the microcanonical ensemble, an assumption is taken as a starting point. In this paper, consistency of such a Microcanonical Finite-Size Scaling Assumption with its commonly accepted canonical counterpart is shown, which puts Microcanonical Finite-Size Scaling on a firmer footing.
متن کاملCritical finite-size scaling with constraints: Fisher renormalization revisited
The influence of a thermodynamic constraint on the critical finite-size scaling behavior of three-dimensional Ising and XY models is analyzed by MonteCarlo simulations. Within the Ising universality class constraints lead to Fisher renormalized critical exponents, which modify the asymptotic form of the scaling arguments of the universal finite-size scaling functions. Within the XY universality...
متن کاملUniversal Finite-size-scaling Functions
The idea of universal finite-size-scaling functions of the Ising model is tested by Monte Carlo simulations for various lattices. Not only regular lattices such as the square lattice but quasiperiodic lattices such as the Penrose lattice are treated. We show that the finite-size-scaling functions of the order parameter for various lattices are collapsed on a single curve by choosing two nonuniv...
متن کاملFinite-size-scaling functions for 3d O(4) and O(2) spin models and QCD
We calculate numerically universal finite-size-scaling functions for the three-dimensional O(4) and O(2) models. The approach of these functions to the infinite-volume scaling functions is studied in detail on the critical and pseudocritical lines. For this purpose we determine the pseudocritical line in two different ways. We find that the asymptotic form of the finite-size-scaling functions i...
متن کاملFinite-size scaling of directed percolation in the steady state.
Recently, considerable progress has been made in understanding finite-size scaling in equilibrium systems. Here, we study finite-size scaling in nonequilibrium systems at the instance of directed percolation (DP), which has become the paradigm of nonequilibrium phase transitions into absorbing states, above, at, and below the upper critical dimension. We investigate the finite-size scaling beha...
متن کاملEfficient method of finding scaling exponents from finite-size Monte-Carlo simulations
Monte-Carlo simulations are routinely used for estimating the scaling exponents of complex systems. However, due to finite-size effects, determining the exponent values is often difficult and not reliable. Here we present a novel technique of dealing the problem of finite-size scaling. The efficiency of the technique is demonstrated on two data sets.
