چکیده

We calculate rigorous lower bounds for the ground-state degeneracy per site, W, of the q-state Potts antiferromagnet on slabs of the simple cubic lattice that are infinite in two directions and finite in the third and that thus interpolate between the square (sq) and simple cubic (sc) lattices. We give a comparison with large-q series expansions for the sq and sc lattices and also present numerical comparisons.

Ground state entropy of the Potts antiferromagnet on homeomorphic expansions of kagomé lattice strips.

We present exact calculations of the chromatic polynomial and resultant ground state entropy of the q-state Potts antiferromagnet on lattice strips that are homeomorphic expansions of a strip of the kagomé lattice. The dependence of the ground state entropy on the form of homeomorphic expansion is elucidated.

The 3-State Potts Antiferromagnet on the Hexagonal Lattice

We study the 3-state hexagonal-lattice Potts antiferromagnet by a Monte Carlo simulation using the Wang-Swendsen-Kotecký cluster algorithm. We study the staggered susceptibility and the correlation length, and we confirm that this model is disordered at all temperatures T ≥ 0. We also measure the ground-state entropy density.

Upper and Lower Bounds for Ground State Entropy of Antiferromagnetic Potts Models

We derive rigorous upper and lower bounds for the ground state entropy of the q-state Potts antiferromagnet on the honeycomb and triangular lattices. These bounds are quite restrictive, especially for large q. ∗email: [email protected] ∗∗email: [email protected] Nonzero ground state disorder and associated entropy, S0 6= 0, is an important subject in statistical mechan...

Antiferromagnet on the Honeycomb Lattice

We study the q-state Potts antiferromagnet with q = 3 on the honeycomb lattice. Using an analytic argument together with a Monte Carlo simulation, we conclude that this model is disordered for all T ≥ 0. We also calculate the ground state entropy to be S0/kB = 0.507(10) and discuss this result. ∗email: [email protected] ∗∗email: [email protected] The effect of ground s...

Ground-state entropy of the potts antiferromagnet with next-nearest-neighbor spin-spin couplings on strips of the square lattice

We present exact calculations of the zero-temperature partition function (chromatic polynomial) and W(q), the exponent of the ground-state entropy, for the q-state Potts antiferromagnet with next-nearest-neighbor spin-spin couplings on square lattice strips, of width L(y)=3 and L(y)=4 vertices and arbitrarily great length Lx vertices, with both free and periodic boundary conditions. The resulta...
