Graphical Representations for Ising Systems in External Fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
A graphical representation based on duplication is developed that is suitable for the study of Ising systems in external fields. Two independent replicas of the Ising system in the same field are treated as a single four-state (Ashkin-Teller) model. Bonds in the graphical representation connect the Ashkin-Teller spins. For ferromagnetic systems it is proved that ordering is characterized by percolation in this representation. The representation leads immediately to cluster algorithms; some applications along these lines are discussed.

متن کاملNon-homogeneous polygonal Markov fields in the plane: graphical representations and geometry of higher order correlations
We consider polygonal Markov fields originally introduced by Arak and Surgailis [2]. Our attention is focused on fields with nodes of order two, which can be regarded as continuum ensembles of non-intersecting contours in the plane, sharing a number of features with the two-dimensional Ising model. We introduce non-homogeneous version of polygonal fields in anisotropic enviroment. For these fie...
متن کاملThe Complexity of Ferromagnetic Two-spin Systems with External Fields
We study the approximability of computing the partition function for ferromagnetic two-state spin systems. The remarkable algorithm by Jerrum and Sinclair showed that there is a fully polynomial-time randomized approximation scheme (FPRAS) for the special ferromagnetic Ising model with any given uniform external field. Later, Goldberg and Jerrum proved that it is #BIS-hard for Ising model if we...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of Ising models with dipole interaction
Recently, a new memory effect was found in the metamagnetic domain structure of the diluted Ising antiferromagnet Fe,Mgr -XC12 by domain imaging with Faraday contrast. Essential for this effect is the dipole interaction. We use a Monte Carlo method to simulate the low-temperature b havior of diluted Ising antiferromagnets in an external magnetic field. The metamagnetic domain structure occurrin...
متن کاملThe Asymmetric Random Cluster Model and Comparison of Ising and Potts Models
We introduce the asymmetric random cluster (or ARC) model, which is a graphical representation of the Potts lattice gas, and establish its basic properties. The ARC model allows a rich variety of comparisons (in the FKG sense) between models with diierent parameter values; we give, for example, values (; h) for which the 0's connguration in the Potts lattice gas is dominated by the \+" conngura...
