abstract = {The classical planar Heisenberg model is studied at low temperatures by means of renormalization theory and a series of exact transformations. A numerical study of the Migdal recursion relation suggests that models with short-range isotropic interactions rapidly become equivalent to a simplified model system proposed by Villain. A series of exact transformations then allows us to treat the Villain model analytically at low temperatures. To lowest order in a parameter which becomes exponentially small with decreasing temperature, we reproduce results obtained previously by Kosterlitz. We also examine the effect of symmetry-breaking crystalline fields on the isotropic planar model. A numerical study of the Migdal recursion scheme suggests that these fields (which must occur in real quasi-two-dimensional crystals) are strongly relevant variables, leading to critical behavior distinct from that found for the planar model. However, a more exact low-temperature treatment of the Villain model shows that hexagonal crystalline fields eventually become irrelevant at temperatures below the Tc of the isotropic model. Isotropic planar critical behavior should be experimentally accessible in this case. Nonuniversal behavior may result if cubic crystalline fields dominate the symmetry breaking. Interesting duality transformations, which aid in the analysis of symmetry-breaking fields are also discussed.},

abstract = {A recent ultrafast simulation of Ising spins (σi = ± 1) utilizes a random + to − flip-over of duly defined decoupled blocks of spins. We show that the random dynamics alone suffices to prove the correspondence of the blocks with “critical clusters” describing thermal (magnetic) fluctuation. (The precise requirement is σiσi = 1, for a pair of spins inside a block, and 〈σiσj〉 = 0, for a σi inside and σj, outside.) The present approach helps to extend the study of critical clusters, and also ultrafast simulation, to the case of nonzero magnetization. Finite critical clusters constitute always a ± symmetric set and are very different (much smaller) than continuous domains of similarly oriented spins.},

In passing it touches on the Kipnis-Varadhan central limit theorem for reversible Markov chains, on some new variance estimators, on judging the relative efficiency of competing Monte Carlo schemes, on methods for constructing more rapidly mixing Markov chains and on diagnostics for Markov chain Monte Carlo.},

We examine dynamic relaxation processes following a quench from a disordered or an ordered initial state to the critical temperature T c , and measure the exponential relaxation time of the system energy. For the Swendsen–Wang algorithm with an ordered or a disordered initial state, and for the Wolff algorithm with an ordered initial state, the exponential relaxation time fits well to a logarithmic size dependence up to a lattice size L = 8192. For the Wolff algorithm with a disordered initial state, we obtain an effective dynamic exponent z exp = 1.19(2) up to L = 2048. For comparison, we also compute the effective dynamic exponents through the integrated correlation times. In addition, an exact result of the Swendsen–Wang dynamic spectrum of a one-dimensional Ising chain is derived.},

abstract = {We use Monte Carlo simulations to demonstrate generic scaling aspects of classical phase transitions approached through a quench (or annealing) protocol where the temperature changes as a function of time with velocity v. Using a generalized Kibble-Zurek ansatz, we demonstrate dynamic scaling for different types of stochastic dynamics (Metropolis, Swendsen-Wang, and Wolff) on Ising models in two and higher dimensions. We show that there are dual scaling functions governing the dynamic scaling, which together describe the scaling behavior in the entire velocity range v∈[0,∞). These functions have asymptotics corresponding to the adiabatic and diabatic limits, and close to these limits they are perturbative in v and 1/v, respectively. Away from their perturbative domains, both functions cross over into the same universal power-law scaling form governed by the static and dynamic critical exponents (as well as an exponent characterizing the quench protocol). As a by-product of the scaling studies, we obtain high-precision estimates of the dynamic exponent z for the two-dimensional Ising model subject to the three variants of Monte Carlo dynamics: for single-spin Metropolis updates zM=2.1767(5), for Swendsen-Wang multicluster updates zSW=0.297(3), and for Wolff single-cluster updates zW=0.30(2). For Wolff dynamics, we find an interesting behavior with a nonanalytic breakdown of the quasiadiabatic and diabatic scalings, instead of the generic smooth crossover described by a power law. We interpret this disconnect between the two scaling regimes as a dynamic phase transition of the Wolff algorithm, caused by an effective sudden loss of ergodicity at high velocity.},

abstract = {For beginners: This review tries to explain percolation through the cluster properties; it can also be used as an introduction to critical phenomena at other phase transitions for readers not familiar with scaling theory. In percolation each site of a periodic lattice is randomly occupied with probability p or empty with probability 1−p. An s-cluster is a group of s occupied sites connected by nearest-neighbor distances; the number of empty nearest neighbors of cluster sites is the perimeter t. For p above pc also one infinite cluster percolates through the lattice. How do the properties of s-clusters depend on s, and how do they feel the influence of the phase transition at p = pc? The answers to these questions are given by various methods (in particular computer simulations) and are interpreted by the so-called scaling theory of phase transitions. The results presented here suggest a qualitative difference of cluster structures above and below pc: Above p c some cluster properties suggest the existence of a cluster surface varying as s23 in three dimensions, but below pc these “surface” contributions are proportional to s. We suggest therefore that very large clusters above pc (but not at and below pc) behave like large clusters of Swiss cheese: Inspite of many internal holes the overall cluster shape is roughly spherical, similar to raindrops. For experts: Scaling theory suggests for large clusters near the percolation threshold pc that the average cluster numbers n s vary as s−τƒ(z), with z ≡ (p − pc)sσ. Analogously the average cluster perimeter is ts = s · (1 − p)/p + sσ · ψ1(z), the average cluster radius Rs varies as sσv · R1(z), and the density profile Ds(r), which depends also on the distance r from the cluster center, varies as s−1δ· D̃1(rs−σv, z). These assumptions relate the seven critical exponents α,β,γ,δ,v,σ,τ in d dimensions through the well-known five scaling laws 2 − α = γ + 2β = βδ + β = dv = β + 1σ = (τ − 1)/σ, leaving only two exponents as independent variables to be fitted by “experiment” and not predicted by scaling theory. For the lattice “animals”, i.e. the number gst of geometrically different cluster configurations, a modified scaling assumption is derived: gstsst1/(s + t)s + 1 ∝ s−τ−12 · ƒ(z), with z ∝ (ac − t/s)sσ and ac = (1 − pc)/pc. All these expressions are variants of the general scaling idea for second-order phase transitions that a function g(x,y) of two critical variables takes the homogeneous form xcG(x/yb) near the critical point, with two free exponents b and c and a scaling function G of a single variable. These assumptions, which may be regarded as generalizations of the Fisher droplet model, are tested “experimentally” by Monte Carlo simulation, series expansion, renormalization group technique, and exact inequalities. In particular, detailed Monte Carlo evidence of Hoshen et al. and Leath and Reich is presented for the scaling of cluster numbers in two and three dimensions. If the cluster size s goes to infinity at fixed concentration p, not necessarily close to pc, three additional exponents ξ, θ, ϱ are defined by: cluster numbers ∝ s−θ exp(−const · sξ) and cluster radii ∝ sϱ. These exponents are different on both sides of the phase transition; for example ξ(p {\textless} pc) = 1 and ξ(p {\textgreater} pc) = 1 − 1/d was found from inequalities, series and Monte Carlo data. The behavior of θ and of ϱ(p {\textless} pc) remains to be explained by scaling theory. This article does not cover experimental applications, correlation functions and “classical” (mean field, Bethe lattice, effective medium) theories. For the reader to whom this abstract is too short and the whole article is too long we recommend sections 1 and 3.},

Here, Sα(→x) (a=1, …, n) is a local n-component ordering variable. Systems to which the analysis is applicable include perovskite crystals, stressed along the [100] direction (n=3), anisotropic antiferromagnets in a uniform field, uniaxially anisotropic ferromagnets, ferroelectric ferromagnets and crystalline 4He(n=2). When g=0 and T=Tc these systems undergo a phase transition that may be associated (for small n) with the Heisenberg fixed point (ν∗=0) or (otherwise) with the cubic fixed point (ν∗{\textgreater}0) of the renormalization group. Although ν is an "irrelevant variable" in the former case, it is found to have important effects. For ν{\textless}0, the point g=0, T=Tc represents a bicritical point in the g−T plane, at which a first-order "spin-flop" line (separating two distinct ordered phases) meets two critical lines. For ν{\textgreater}0, the "flop" line splits into two critical lines, associated with transitions between each of the ordered phases and a new intermediate phase; the point T=Tc, g=0 is then tetracritical. The shape of the boundary of the intermediate phase is given by T=T2(g, ν) with [Tc−T2(g, ν)]∼(gν)1ψ2, where ψ2=φg−φν (if the tetracritical point is Heisenberg-like) or ψ2=φCg (if it is cubic). Here, φg, φν, and φCg are appropriate crossover exponents associated with the two symmetry-breaking perturbations.

We analyze the stability of the fixed points using a Borel transformation and a conformal mapping that takes into account the singularities of the Borel transform. We find that the cubic fixed point is stable for N{\textgreater}Nc, Nc=2.89(4). Therefore, the critical properties of cubic ferromagnets are not described by the Heisenberg isotropic Hamiltonian, but instead by the cubic model at the cubic fixed point. For N=3, the critical exponents at the cubic and symmetric fixed points differ very little (less than the precision of our results, which is ≲1\% in the case of γ and ν). Moreover, the irrelevant interaction bringing from the symmetric to the cubic fixed point gives rise to slowly decaying scaling corrections with exponent ω2=0.010(4). For N=2, the isotropic fixed point is stable and the cubic interaction induces scaling corrections with exponent ω2=0.103(8). These conclusions are confirmed by a similar analysis of the five-loop ε expansion. A constrained analysis, which takes into account that Nc=2 in two dimensions, gives Nc=2.87(5).},

Actually, the successful versions of our algorithm are a mixture of two different procedures for choosing the reflection plane, one of them ergodic but slow, the other one non-ergodic and also slow when combined with a Metropolis algorithm.},

abstract = {The effects of an off-diagonal quadratic symmetry-breaking field, g, on a three-component (n=3) cubic model with no accessible fixed points are studied. It is shown that this perturbation induces a crossover from first-order to continuous transition. Depending upon the initial values of the parameters characterizing the model, two types of (g,T) phase diagrams are possible, both of which are rather complex, exhibiting tricritical, critical, and critical end points. The (g,T) phase diagrams are studied using large-g expansion, mean-field theory, and renormalization-group analysis. A universal amplitude ratio associated with the critical end points is calculated to leading (zeroth) order in ε=4−d. The phase diagrams are predicted to be realizable in certain n=3 cubic crystals undergoing structural phase transitions, such as BaTiO3, RbCaF3, and KMnF3.},

abstract = {We present results of numerical studies of the two-dimensional XY model with four- and eightfold symmetry-breaking fields. This model has recently been shown to describe hydrogen-induced reconstruction on the W(100) surface. Based on mean-field and renormalization-group arguments, we first show how the interplay between the anisotropy fields can give rise to different phase transitions in the model. When the fields are compatible with each other there is a continuous phase transition when the fourth-order field is varied from negative to positive values. This transition becomes discontinuous at low temperatures. These two regimes are separated by a multicritical point. In the case of competing four- and eightfold fields, the first-order transition at low temperatures opens up into two Ising transitions. We then use numerical methods to accurately locate the position of the multicritical point, and to verify the nature of the transitions. The different techniques used include Monte Carlo histogram methods combined with finite-size scaling analysis, the real-space Monte Carlo renormalization-group method, and the Monte Carlo transfer-matrix method. Our numerical results are in good agreement with the theoretical arguments.},

Hydrogen adsorption on a W(100) surface causes a switching transition in the symmetry of the displacements of the W atoms within the ordered c(2×2) phase. This transition is modeled by an effective Hamiltonian, where the hydrogen degrees of freedom are integrated out. Based on extensive Monte Carlo renormalization-group calculations we show that the switching transition is of second order at high temperatures and of first order at low temperatures. This behavior is qualitatively explained in terms of an XY model where there is an interplay between fourfold and eightfold anisotropy fields. We also compare the calculated phase diagrams with a simple mean-field theory.},
