A Little Statistical Mechanics for the Graph Theorist
In this survey, we give a friendly introduction from a graph theory
perspective to the q-state Potts model, an important statistical mechanics tool
for analyzing complex systems in which nearest neighbor interactions determine
the aggregate behavior of the system. We present the surprising equivalence of
the Potts model partition function and one of the most renowned graph
invariants, the Tutte polynomial, a relationship that has resulted in a
remarkable synergy between the two fields of study. We highlight some of these
interconnections, such as computational complexity results that have alternated
between the two fields. The Potts model captures the effect of temperature on
the system and plays an important role in the study of thermodynamic phase
transitions. We discuss the equivalence of the chromatic polynomial and the
zero-temperature antiferromagnetic partition function, and how this has led to
the study of the complex zeros of these functions. We also briefly describe
Monte Carlo simulations commonly used for Potts model analysis of complex
systems. The Potts model has applications as widely varied as magnetism, tumor
migration, foam behaviors, and social demographics, and we provide a sampling
of these that also demonstrates some variations of the Potts model. We conclude
with some current areas of investigation that emphasize graph theoretic
approaches.
This paper is an elementary general audience survey, intended to popularize
the area and provide an accessible first point of entry for further
exploration.Comment: 30 pages, 3 figure
Specht modules and chromatic polynomials
AbstractAn explicit formula for the chromatic polynomials of certain families of graphs, called `bracelets', is obtained. The terms correspond to irreducible representations of symmetric groups. The theory is developed using the standard bases for the Specht modules of representation theory, and leads to an effective means of calculation
