Finite-size-scaling functions for 3d O(4) and O(2) spin models and QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
We calculate numerically universal finite-size-scaling functions for the three-dimensional O(4) and O(2) models. The approach of these functions to the infinite-volume scaling functions is studied in detail on the critical and pseudocritical lines. For this purpose we determine the pseudocritical line in two different ways. We find that the asymptotic form of the finite-size-scaling functions is already reached at small values of the scaling variable. A comparison with QCD lattice data for two flavours of staggered fermions shows a similar finite-size behaviour which is compatible with that of the spin models. PACS : 64.60.C; 75.10.H; 12.38.Gc

Finite Size Scaling for the O(N) universality class from Renormalization Group Methods
The QCD phase diagram at finite temperature and density is a topic of considerable interest. Although much progress has been made in recent years, some open questions remain. Even at zero density, the order of the transition for two light flavors of fermions has not yet been conclusively established. While considerable evidence exists in favor of a second-order transition for massless quarks an...
متن کاملScaling and Goldstone effects in a QCD with two flavours of adjoint quarks
We study QCD with two Dirac fermions in the adjoint representation at finite temperature by Monte Carlo simulations. In such a theory the deconfinement and chiral phase transitions occur at different temperatures. We locate the second order chiral transition point at βc = 5.624(2) and show that the scaling behaviour of the chiral condensate in the vicinity of βc is in full agreeement with that ...

We investigate the critical parameters of an order-disorder quantum phase transitions in the spin-12 J−J ′ Heisenberg and XY antiferromagnets on square lattice. Basing on the excitation gaps calculated by exact diagonalization technique for systems up to 32 spins and finite-size scaling analysis we estimate the critical couplings and exponents of the correlation length for both models. Our anal...

متن کاملCorrections to finite-size scaling in two-dimensional O(N) σ-models
We have considered the corrections to the finite-size-scaling functions for a general class of O(N) σ-models with two-spin interactions in two dimensions for N =∞. We have computed the leading corrections finding that they generically behave as (f(z) logL+ g(z))/L where z = m(L)L and m(L) is a mass scale; f(z) vanishes for Symanzik improved actions for which the inverse propagator behaves as q ...
