Corner transfer matrices in statistical mechanics
نویسنده
چکیده
Corner transfer matrices are a useful tool in the statistical mechanics of simple two-dimensinal models. They can be very effective way of obtaining series expansions of unsolved models, and of calculating the order parameters of solved ones. Here we review these features and discuss the reason why the method fails to give the order parameter of the chiral Potts model. .

v 2 1 7 D ec 1 99 3 Infinite dimensional symmetry of corner transfer matrices
We review some of the recent developments in two dimensional statistical mechanics in which corner transfer matrices provide the vital link between the physical system and the representation theory of quantum affine algebras. This opens many new possibilities, because the eigenstates may be described using the properties of q-vertex operators. Infinite dimensional symmetry of corner transfer ma...
متن کاملThe Baxter Revolution
I review the revolutionary impact Rodney Baxter has had on statistical mechanics beginning with his solution of the 8 vertex model in 1971 and the invention of corner transfer matrices in 1976 to the creation of the RSOS models in 1984 and his continuing current work on the chiral Potts model.
متن کاملUpper Bounds on Two-Dimensional Constraint Capacities via Corner Transfer Matrices
We study the capacities of a family of two-dimensional constraints, containing the hard squares, non-attacking kings and read-write isolated memory models. Using an assortment of techniques from combinatorics, statistical mechanics and linear algebra, we prove upper bounds on the capacities of these models. Our starting point is Calkin and Wilf’s transfer matrix eigenvalue upper bound. We then ...

Let H be the corner-transfer-matrix Hamiltonian for the six-vertex model in the antiferroelectric regime. It acts on the infinite tensor product W = V ⊗ V ⊗ V ⊗ · · ·, where V is the 2-dimensional irreducible representation of the quantum affine Lie algebra Uq ( ŝl (2) ) . We observe that H is the derivation of Uq ( ŝl (2) ) , and conjecture that the eigenvectors of H form the level-1 vacuum re...
متن کاملSe p 19 95 Corner Transfer Matrix Renormalization Group Method
We propose a new fast numerical renormalization group method, the corner transfer matrix renormalization group (CTMRG) method, which is based on a unified scheme of Baxter's corner transfer matrix method and White's density matrix renormalization group method. The key point is that a product of four corner transfer matrices coincides with the density matrix. We formulate the CTMRG method as a r...
