The tensor renormalization group study of the general spin-S Blume-Capel model
We focus on the special situation of of the general spin-S Blume-Capel
model on the square lattice. Under the infinitesimal external magnetic field,
the phase transition behaviors due to the thermal fluctuations are discussed by
the newly developed tensor renormalization group method. For the case of the
integer spin-S, the system will undergo first-order phase transitions with
the successive symmetry breaking with the magnetization . For the
half-integer spin-S, there are similar first order phase transition
with stepwise structure, in addition, there is a continuous
phase transition due to the spin-flip symmetry breaking. In the low
temperature regions, all first-order phase transitions are accompanied by the
successive disappearance of the optional spin-component pairs(),
furthermore, the critical temperature for the nth first-order phase transition
is the same, independent of the value of the spin-S. In the absence of the
magnetic field, the visualization parameter characterizing the intrinsic
degeneracy of the different phases clearly demonstrates the phase transition
process.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figure
A method for getting a finite in the IR region from an all-order beta function
The analytical method of QCD running coupling constant is extended to a model
with an all-order beta function which is inspired by the famous
Novikov-Shifman-Vai\-n\-s\-htein-Zakharov beta function of N=1 supersymmetric
gau\-g\-e theories. In the approach presented here, the running coupling is
determined by a transcendental equation with non-elementary integral of the
running scale . In our approach , which reads 0.30642,
does not rely on any dimensional parameters. This is in accordance with results
in the literature on the analytical method of QCD running coupling constant.
The new "analytically im\-p\-roved" running coupling constant is also
compatible with the property of asymptotic freedom.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Background field method in the large expansion of scalar QED
Using the background field method, we, in the large approximation,
calculate the beta function of scalar quantum electrodynamics at the first
nontrivial order in by two different ways. In the first way, we get the
result by summing all the graphs contributing directly. In the second way, we
begin with the Borel transform of the related two point Green's function. The
main results are that the beta function is fully determined by a simple
function and can be expressed as an analytic expression with a finite radius of
convergence, and the scheme-dependent renormalized Borel transform of the two
point Green's function suffers from renormalons.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures, 1 table, to appear in the European Physical
