Finite-temperature phase transition in a class of four-state Potts antiferromagnets.

چکیده
We argue that the four-state Potts antiferromagnet has a finite-temperature phase transition on any Eulerian plane triangulation in which one sublattice consists of vertices of degree 4. We furthermore predict the universality class of this transition. We then present transfer-matrix and Monte Carlo data confirming these predictions for the cases of the Union Jack and bisected hexagonal lattices.

Two-dimensional Potts antiferromagnets with a phase transition at arbitrarily large q.
We exhibit infinite families of two-dimensional lattices (some of which are triangulations or quadrangulations of the plane) on which the q-state Potts antiferromagnet has a finite-temperature phase transition at arbitrarily large values of q. This unexpected result is proven rigorously by using a Peierls argument to measure the entropic advantage of sublattice long-range order. Additional nume...
متن کاملKosterlitz-Thouless transition in three-state mixed Potts ferro-antiferromagnets
We study three-state Potts spins on a square lattice, in which all bonds are ferromagnetic along one of the lattice directions, and antiferromagnetic along the other. Numerical transfer-matrix are used, on infinite strips of width L sites, 4 ≤ L ≤ 14. Based on the analysis of the ratio of scaled mass gaps (inverse correlation lengths) and scaled domain-wall free energies, we provide strong evid...
متن کاملAshkin-Teller criticality and weak first-order behavior of the phase transition to a fourfold degenerate state in two-dimensional frustrated Ising antiferromagnets.
We study the thermal phase transition of the fourfold degenerate phases (the plaquette and single-stripe states) in the two-dimensional frustrated Ising model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice using Monte Carlo simulations. The critical Ashkin-Teller-like behavior is identified both in the plaquette phase region and the single-stripe phase region. The four-state Potts critical end points differ...
متن کاملPhases of the three-state Potts model in three spatial dimensions
The three-state Potts model is numerically investigated on three-dimensional simple cubic lattices of up to 128 volume, concentrating on the neighborhood of the first-order phase transition separating the ordered and disordered phases. In both phases clusters of like spins are observed with irregular boundaries. In the ordered phase the two different non-favored spins are found to attract each ...
متن کاملPhase transition in the three-state Potts antiferromagnet on the diced lattice.
We prove that the 3-state Potts antiferromagnet on the diced lattice (dual of the kagome lattice) has entropically driven long-range order at low temperatures (including zero). We then present Monte Carlo simulations, using a cluster algorithm, of the 3-state and 4-state models. The 3-state model has a phase transition to the high-temperature disordered phase at v=e;{J}-1=-0.860 599+/-0.000 004...
