    We obtain the free energies and critical exponents of models associated with elliptic solutions of the star-triangle relation and reflection equation. The models considered are related to the affine Lie algebras A_1^{(1)}, B_n^{(1)},C_n^{(1)} and D_n^{(1)}. The bulk and surface specific heat exponents are seen to satisfy the scaling relation 2\alpha_s = \alpha_b + 2. It follows from scaling relations that in regime III the correlation length exponent \nu is given by \nu=(l+g)/2g, where l is the level and g is the dual Coxeter number. In regime II we find \nu=(l+g)/2l.Comment: 9 pages, Latex, no figure

    Calculation of renormalized viscosity and resistivity in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

    Full text link
    A self-consistent renormalization (RG) scheme has been applied to nonhelical magnetohydrodynamic turbulence with normalized cross helicity Οƒc=0\sigma_c =0 and Οƒcβ†’1\sigma_c \to 1. Kolmogorov's 5/3 powerlaw is assumed in order to compute the renormalized parameters. It has been shown that the RG fixed point is stable for dβ‰₯dcβ‰ˆ2.2d \ge d_c \approx 2.2. The renormalized viscosity Ξ½βˆ—\nu^* and resistivity Ξ·βˆ—\eta^* have been calculated, and they are found to be positive for all parameter regimes. For Οƒc=0\sigma_c=0 and large Alfv\'{e}n ratio (ratio of kinetic and magnetic energies) rAr_A, Ξ½βˆ—=0.36\nu^*=0.36 and Ξ·βˆ—=0.85\eta^*=0.85. As rAr_A is decreased, Ξ½βˆ—\nu^* increases and Ξ·βˆ—\eta^* decreases, untill rAβ‰ˆ0.25r_A \approx 0.25 where both Ξ½βˆ—\nu^* and Ξ·βˆ—\eta^* are approximately zero. For large dd, both Ξ½βˆ—\nu^* and Ξ·βˆ—\eta^* vary as dβˆ’1/2d^{-1/2}. The renormalized parameters for the case Οƒcβ†’1\sigma_c \to 1 are also reported.Comment: 19 pages REVTEX, 3 ps files (Phys.
