A classification of four-state spin edge Potts models
We classify four-state spin models with interactions along the edges
according to their behavior under a specific group of symmetry transformations.
This analysis uses the measure of complexity of the action of the symmetries,
in the spirit of the study of discrete dynamical systems on the space of
parameters of the models, and aims at uncovering solvable ones. We find that
the action of these symmetries has low complexity (polynomial growth, zero
entropy). We obtain natural parametrizations of various models, among which an
unexpected elliptic parametrization of the four-state chiral Potts model, which
we use to localize possible integrability conditions associated with high genus
curves.Comment: 5 figure
Stochastic Light-Cone CTMRG: a new DMRG approach to stochastic models
We develop a new variant of the recently introduced stochastic
transfer-matrix DMRG which we call stochastic light-cone corner-transfer-matrix
DMRG (LCTMRG). It is a numerical method to compute dynamic properties of
one-dimensional stochastic processes. As suggested by its name, the LCTMRG is a
modification of the corner-transfer-matrix DMRG (CTMRG), adjusted by an
additional causality argument. As an example, two reaction-diffusion models,
the diffusion-annihilation process and the branch-fusion process, are studied
and compared to exact data and Monte-Carlo simulations to estimate the
capability and accuracy of the new method. The number of possible Trotter steps
of more than 10^5 shows a considerable improvement to the old stochastic TMRG
algorithm.Comment: 15 pages, uses IOP styl
Symmetry, complexity and multicritical point of the two-dimensional spin glass
We analyze models of spin glasses on the two-dimensional square lattice by
exploiting symmetry arguments. The replicated partition functions of the Ising
and related spin glasses are shown to have many remarkable symmetry properties
as functions of the edge Boltzmann factors. It is shown that the applications
of homogeneous and Hadamard inverses to the edge Boltzmann matrix indicate
reduced complexities when the elements of the matrix satisfy certain
conditions, suggesting that the system has special simplicities under such
conditions. Using these duality and symmetry arguments we present a conjecture
on the exact location of the multicritical point in the phase diagram.Comment: 32 pages, 6 figures; a few typos corrected. To be published in J.
