Variational method and duality in the 2D square Potts model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ferromagnetic q-state Potts model on a square lattice is analyzed, for q > 4, through an elaborate version of the operatorial variational method. In the variational approach proposed in the paper, the duality relations are exactly satisfied, involving at a more fundamental level, a duality relationship between variational parameters. Besides some exact predictions, the approach is very effective in the numerical estimates over the whole range of temperature and can be systematically improved.

Duality and Regge trajectories in the 2D Potts model on square lattice
A unified approach to the ferromagnetic two dimensional Potts model on square lattice is proposed. The compatibility with the still to be found solutions of the three (and higher) dimensional Ising model allows one to write down an explicit analytic ansatz for the free energy in terms of few q-dependent Regge trajectories. The duality symmetry of the 2D Potts model together with the known resul...
متن کاملA numerical technique for solving a class of 2D variational problems using Legendre spectral method
An effective numerical method based on Legendre polynomials is proposed for the solution of a class of variational problems with suitable boundary conditions. The Ritz spectral method is used for finding the approximate solution of the problem. By utilizing the Ritz method, the given nonlinear variational problem reduces to the problem of solving a system of algebraic equations. The advantage o...
متن کاملSelf-Consistent Tensor Product Variational Approximation for 3D Classical Models
We propose a numerical variational method for three-dimensional (3D) classical lattice models. We construct the variational state as a product of local tensors, and improve it by use of the corner transfer matrix renormalization group (CTMRG), which is a variant of the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) applied to 2D classical systems. Numerical efficiency of this approximation is inve...
متن کاملNew region force for variational models in image segmentation and high dimensional data clustering
We propose an effective framework for multi-phase image segmentation and semi-supervised data clustering by introducing a novel region force term into the Potts model. Assume the probability that a pixel or a data point belongs to each class is known a priori. We show that the corresponding indicator function obeys the Bernoulli distribution and the new region force function can be computed as ...
متن کاملTwist Boundary Conditions of Quantum Spin Chains near the Gaussian Fixed Points
Duality transformation, which relates a high-temperature phase to a low-temperature one, is used exactly to determine the critical point for several models (2D Ising, Potts, Ashkin-Teller, 8-vertex), as the self dual condition. By changing boundary condition, numerically we can determine the self-dual(critical) point of the Ashkin-Teller(or Gaussian) model. This is the first explicit applicatio...
