A study of logarithmic corrections and universal amplitude ratios in the two-dimensional 4-state Potts model
Monte Carlo (MC) and series expansion (SE) data for the energy, specific
heat, magnetization and susceptibility of the two-dimensional 4-state Potts
model in the vicinity of the critical point are analysed. The role of
logarithmic corrections is discussed and an approach is proposed in order to
account numerically for these corrections in the determination of critical
amplitudes. Accurate estimates of universal amplitude ratios ,
, and are given, which arouse
new questions with respect to previous works
