Critical points in coupled Potts models and critical phases in coupled loop models
نویسنده
چکیده
We show how to couple two critical Q-state Potts models to yield a new self-dual critical point. We also present strong evidence of a dense critical phase near this critical point when the Potts models are defined in their completely packed loop representations. In the continuum limit, the new critical point is described by an SU(2) coset conformal field theory, while in this limit of the the critical phase, the two loop models decouple. Using a combination of exact results and numerics, we also obtain the phase diagram in the presence of vacancies. We generalize these results to coupling two Potts models at different Q.

We discuss the critical behaviour of 2D Ising and q−states Potts models coupled by their energy density. We found new tricritical points. The procedure employed is the renormalisation approach of the perturbations series around conformal field theories representing pure models as already used for disordered spins models. This analysis could be useful to understand the physics of coupled critica...
متن کاملThe forgotten Potts models
The q = 10 and q = 200 state Potts models coupled to 2d gravity are investigated numerically and shown to have continuous phase transitions, contrary to their behavior on a regular lattice. Critical exponents are extracted and possible critical behavior for general q-state Potts models coupled to gravity is discussed.
متن کاملCoupled Minimal Models with and without Disorder
We analyse in this article the critical behavior of M q1-state Potts models coupled to N q2-state Potts models (q1, q2 ∈ [2..4]) with and without disorder. The technics we use are based on perturbed conformal theories. Calculations have been performed at two loops. We already find some interesting situations in the pure case for some peculiar values of M and N with new tricritical points. When ...

In this paper, the causes of the crack initiation in cast iron bullion moulds in Meybod Steel Corporation are investigated and then some new geometrical models are presented to replace the current moulds. Finally, among the new presented models and according to the life assessment, the best model is selected and suggested as the replaced one. For this purpose, the three recommended moulds were ...
متن کاملDuality relations for M coupled potts models
We establish explicit duality transformations for systems of M q-state Potts models coupled through their local energy density, generalizing known results for M=1,2,3. The M-dimensional space of coupling constants contains a self-dual submanifold of dimension D(M)=[M/2]. For the case M=4, the variation of the effective central charge along the self-dual surface is investigated by numerical tran...
