Kramers-Wannier Approximation for the 3D Ising Model
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the Kramers-Wannier approximation for the three-dimensional (3D) Ising model. The variational state is represented by an effective 2D Ising model, which contains two variational parameters. We numerically calculate the variational partition function using the corner transfer matrix renormalization group (CTMRG) method, and find its maximum with respect to the variational parameters. The calculated transition point Kc = 0.2184 is only 1.5% less than the true Kc; the result is better than that obtained by the corner transfer tensor renormalization group (CTTRG) approach. The calculated phase transition is mean-field like.

Kramers-wannier duality from conformal defects.
We demonstrate that the fusion algebra of conformal defects of a two-dimensional conformal field theory contains information about the internal symmetries of the theory and allows one to read off generalizations of Kramers-Wannier duality. We illustrate the general mechanism in the examples of the Ising model and the three-state Potts model.
متن کاملDuality and even number spin-correlation functions in the Two dimensional square lattice Ising model
The Kramers-Wannier duality is shown to hold for all the even number spin correlation functions of the two dimensional square lattice Ising model in the sense that the high temperature (T > Tc) expressions for these correlation functions are transformed into the low temperature (T < Tc) expressions under this duality transformation. PACS: 05.70.Jk The two dimensional Ising model remains one of ...
متن کاملA Factor-Graph Approach to Algebraic Topology, With Applications to Kramers--Wannier Duality
We consider the classical duality result of Kramers and Wannier, which expresses the partition function of the twodimensional Ising model at low temperature in terms of the partition function of the two-dimensional Ising model at high temperature. Our main contribution is to gain new insights into this result by reproving it with the help of a simple normalfactor-graph duality theorem (with ori...
متن کاملMulti-point correlations and dual boundary conditions
As we have seen in Chapter 2, the partition function of the Ising model on a planar graph G with positive boundary conditions is proportional to the even subgraph generating function ZG⇤(x), where G⇤ is the weak dual of G and x is the weight vector defined by the low-temperature expansion. Similarly, the partition function of the model with free boundary conditions is proportional to ZG(x), whe...
متن کاملDuality and Symmetry in Chiral Potts Model
We discover a Ising-type duality in the general N -state chiral Potts model, which is the Kramers-Wannier duality of planar Ising model when N = 2. This duality relates the spectrum and eigenvectors of one chiral Potts model at a low temperature (of small k) to those of another chiral Potts model at a high temperature (of k). The τ -model and chiral Potts model on the dual lattice are establish...
