A Quasi-exact Formula for Ising critical temperatures on Hypercubic Lattices

We present results for the high-temperature series expansions of the susceptibility and free energy of the $q$-state Potts model on a $D$-dimensional hypercubic lattice $\mathbb{Z}^D$ for arbitrary values of $q$. The series are up to order 20 for dimension $D\leq3$, order 19 for $D\leq 5$ and up to order 17 for arbitrary $D$. Using the $q\to 1$ limit of these series, we estimate the percolation threshold $p_c$ and critical exponent $\gamma$ for bond percolation in different d...

We study the nonequilibrium critical point of the zero temperature random field Ising model on a triangular lattice and compare it with known results on honeycomb, square, and simple cubic lattices. We suggest that the coordination number of the lattice rather than its dimension plays the key role in determining the universality class of the nonequilibrium critical behavior. This is discussed in the context of numerical evidence that equilibrium and nonequilibrium critical po...

A new graphical method is developed to calculate the critical temperature of 2- and 3-dimensional Ising models as well as that of the 2-dimensional Potts models. This method is based on the transfer matrix method and using the limited lattice for the calculation. The reduced internal energy per site has been accurately calculated for different 2-D Ising and Potts models using different size-limited lattices. All calculated energies intersect at a single point when plotted ver...

Monte Carlo investigations of magnetization versus field, $M_c(H)$, at the critical temperature provide direct accurate results on the critical exponent $\delta^{-1}$ for one, two, three and four-dimensional lattices: $\delta_{1D}^{-1}$=0, $\delta_{2D}^{-1}$=0.0666(2)$\simeq$1/15, $\delta_{3D}^{-1}$=0.1997(4)$\simeq$1/5, $\delta_{4D}^{-1}$=0.332(5)$\simeq$1/3. This type of Monte Carlo data on $\delta$, which is not easily found in studies of Ising lattices in the current lite...

The Ising model exhibits qualitatively different properties in hyperbolic space in comparison to its flat space counterpart. Due to the negative curvature, a finite fraction of the total number of spins reside at the boundary of a volume in hyperbolic space. As a result, boundary conditions play an important role even when taking the thermodynamic limit. We investigate the bulk thermodynamic properties of the Ising model in two and three dimensional hyperbolic spaces using Mo...

We report the conjectures on the three-dimensional (3D) Ising model on simple orthorhombic lattices, together with the details of calculations for a putative exact solution. Two conjectures, an additional rotation in the fourth curled-up dimension and the weight factors on the eigenvectors, are proposed to serve as a boundary condition to deal with the topologic problem of the 3D Ising model. The partition function of the 3D simple orthorhombic Ising model is evaluated by spi...

The upper critical dimension of the Ising model is known to be $d_c=4$, above which critical behavior is regarded as trivial. We hereby argue from extensive simulations that, in the random-cluster representation, the Ising model simultaneously exhibits two upper critical dimensions at $(d_c= 4, d_p=6)$, and critical clusters for $d \geq d_p$, except the largest one, are governed by exponents from percolation universality. We predict a rich variety of geometric properties and ...

We report a high-precision finite-size scaling study of the critical behavior of the three-dimensional Ising Edwards-Anderson model (the Ising spin glass). We have thermalized lattices up to L=40 using the Janus dedicated computer. Our analysis takes into account leading-order corrections to scaling. We obtain Tc = 1.1019(29) for the critical temperature, \nu = 2.562(42) for the thermal exponent, \eta = -0.3900(36) for the anomalous dimension and \omega = 1.12(10) for the exp...

We investigate the proposal that for weakly coupled two-dimensional magnets the transition temperature scales with a critical exponent which is equivalent to that of the susceptibility in the underlying two-dimensional model, $ \gamma $. Employing the exact diagonalization of transfer matrices we can determine the critical temperature for Ising models accurately and then fit to approximate this critical exponent. We find an additional logarithm is required to predict the tran...

Using a renormalized linked-cluster-expansion method, we have extended to order $\beta^{23}$ the high-temperature series for the susceptibility $\chi$ and the second-moment correlation length $\xi$ of the spin-1/2 Ising models on the sc and the bcc lattices. A study of these expansions yields updated direct estimates of universal parameters, such as exponents and amplitude ratios, which characterize the critical behavior of $\chi$ and $\xi$. Our best estimates for the inverse...
