q-State Potts Model on Ladder Graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
We present exact calculations of the partition function for the q-state Potts model for general q, temperature and magnetic field on strips of the square lattices of width Ly = 2 and arbitrary length Lx = m with periodic longitudinal boundary conditions. A new representation of the transfer matrix for the q-state Potts model is introduced which can be used to calculate the determinant of the transfer matrix for an arbirary m × m lattice with periodic boundary conditions.

A Potts/Ising Correspondence on Thin Graphs
We note that it is possible to construct a bond vertex model that displays q-state Potts criticality on an ensemble of φ random graphs of arbitrary topology, which we denote as “thin” random graphs in contrast to the fat graphs of the planar diagram expansion. Since the four vertex model in question also serves to describe the critical behaviour of the Ising model in field, the formulation reve...
متن کاملPotts model on infinite graphs and the limit of chromatic polynomials
Abstract Given an infinite graph G quasi-transitive and amenable with maximum degree ∆, we show that reduced ground state degeneracy per site Wr(G, q) of the q-state antiferromagnetic Potts model at zero temperature on G is analytic in the variable 1/q, whenever |2∆e3/q| < 1. This result proves, in an even stronger formulation, a conjecture originally sketched in [12] and explicitly formulated ...
متن کاملChromatic Polynomials, Potts Models and All That
The q-state Potts model can be defined on an arbitrary finite graph, and its partition function encodes much important information about that graph, including its chromatic polynomial, flow polynomial and reliability polynomial. The complex zeros of the Potts partition function are of interest both to statistical mechanicians and to combinatorists. I give a pedagogical introduction to all these...

We investigate numerically and analytically Potts models on " thin " random graphs – generic Feynman diagrams, using the idea that such models may be expressed as the N → 1 limit of a matrix model. The thin random graphs in this limit are locally tree-like, in distinction to the " fat " random graphs that appear in the planar Feynman diagram limit, N → ∞, more familiar from discretized models o...
متن کاملExact Potts Model Partition Function on Strips of the Triangular Lattice
In this paper we present exact calculations of the partition function Z of the q-state Potts model and its generalization to real q, for arbitrary temperature on n-vertex strip graphs, of width L y = 2 and arbitrary length, of the triangular lattice with free, cyclic, and Möbius longitudinal boundary conditions. These partition functions are equivalent to Tutte/Whitney polynomials for these gra...
