Corner Exponents in the Two-Dimensional Potts Model
The critical behavior at a corner in two-dimensional Ising and three-state
Potts models is studied numerically on the square lattice using transfer
operator techniques. The local critical exponents for the magnetization and the
energy density for various opening angles are deduced from finite-size scaling
results at the critical point for isotropic or anisotropic couplings. The
scaling dimensions compare quite well with the values expected from conformal
invariance, provided the opening angle is replaced by an effective one in
anisotropic systems.Comment: 11 pages, 2 eps-figures, uses LaTex and eps
