Finite size scaling in the 2 D XY - model and generalized universality
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent works [1] (BHP), a generalized universality has been proposed, linking phenomena as dissimilar as 2D magnetism and turbulence. To test these ideas, we performed a MC study of the 2DXY-model. We found that the shape of the probability distribution function for the magnetization M is non Gaussian and independent of the system size, below the Kosterlitz-Thoules temperature. However, the shape of these distributions do depend on the temperature, contrarily to the BHP's claim. This behavior is successfully explained by using an extended finite-size scaling analysis and the existence of bounds for M .

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 کاملFinite-size scaling and universality in the spin-1 quantum XY chain
The spin-1 XY chain in a transverse field is studied using finite-size scaling. The ground state phase diagram displays a paramagnetic, an ordered ferromagnetic and an ordered oscillatory phase. The paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition line belongs to the universality class of the 2D Ising model. Along this line, universality is confirmed for the finite-size scaling functions of several correl...
متن کاملHigh precision Monte Carlo study of the 3 D XY - universality class
We present a Monte Carlo study of the two-component φ 4 model on the simple cubic lattice in three dimensions. By suitable tuning of the coupling constant λ we eliminate leading order corrections to scaling. High statistics simulations using finite size scaling techniques yield ν = 0.6723(3)[8] and η = 0.0381(2)[2], where the statistical and systematical errors are given in the first and second...
متن کاملNew ordered phases in a class of generalized XY models.
It is well known that the 2D XY model exhibits an unusual infinite order phase transition belonging to the Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) universality class. Introduction of a nematic coupling into the XY Hamiltonian leads to an additional phase transition in the Ising universality class [D. H. Lee and G. Grinstein, Phys. Rev. Lett. 55, 541 (1985)]. Using a combination of extensive Monte Carlo simula...
