Self-Consistent Tensor Product Variational Approximation for 3D Classical Models

We propose a numerical variational method for three-dimensional (3D) classical lattice models. We construct the variational state as a product of local tensors, and improve it by use of the corner transfer matrix renormalization group (CTMRG), which is a variant of the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) applied to 2D classical systems. Numerical efficiency of this approximation is investigated through trial applications to the 3D Ising model and the 3D 3-state Potts model.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figure

Corner Transfer Matrix Renormalization Group Method Applied to the Ising Model on the Hyperbolic Plane

Critical behavior of the Ising model is investigated at the center of large scale finite size systems, where the lattice is represented as the tiling of pentagons. The system is on the hyperbolic plane, and the recursive structure of the lattice makes it possible to apply the corner transfer matrix renormalization group method. From the calculated nearest neighbor spin correlation function and the spontaneous magnetization, it is concluded that the phase transition of this model is mean-field like. One parameter deformation of the corner Hamiltonian on the hyperbolic plane is discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure

Numerical Renormalization Group at Criticality

We apply a recently developed numerical renormalization group, the corner-transfer-matrix renormalization group (CTMRG), to 2D classical lattice models at their critical temperatures. It is shown that the combination of CTMRG and the finite-size scaling analysis gives two independent critical exponents.Comment: 5 pages, LaTeX, 5 figures available upon reques

Snapshot Observation for 2D Classical Lattice Models by Corner Transfer Matrix Renormalization Group

We report a way of obtaining a spin configuration snapshot, which is one of the representative spin configurations in canonical ensemble, in a finite area of infinite size two-dimensional (2D) classical lattice models. The corner transfer matrix renormalization group (CTMRG), a variant of the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG), is used for the numerical calculation. The matrix product structure of the variational state in CTMRG makes it possible to stochastically fix spins each by each according to the conditional probability with respect to its environment.Comment: 4 pages, 8figure

Scaling Relation for Excitation Energy Under Hyperbolic Deformation

We introduce a one-parameter deformation for one-dimensional (1D) quantum lattice models, the hyperbolic deformation, where the scale of the local energy is proportional to cosh lambda j at the j-th site. Corresponding to a 2D classical system, the deformation does not strongly modify the ground state. In this situation, the effective Hamiltonian of the quantum system shows that the quasi particle is weakly bounded around the center of the system. By analyzing this binding effect, we derive scaling relations for the mean-square width of confinement, the energy correction with respect to the excitation gap \Delta, and the deformation parameter $\lambda$. This finite-size scaling allows us to investigate excitation gap of 1D non-deformed bulk quantum systems.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure

The Density Matrix Renormalization Group technique with periodic boundary conditions

The Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) method with periodic boundary conditions is introduced for two dimensional classical spin models. It is shown that this method is more suitable for derivation of the properties of infinite 2D systems than the DMRG with open boundary conditions despite the latter describes much better strips of finite width. For calculation at criticality, phenomenological renormalization at finite strips is used together with a criterion for optimum strip width for a given order of approximation. For this width the critical temperature of 2D Ising model is estimated with seven-digit accuracy for not too large order of approximation. Similar precision is reached for critical indices. These results exceed the accuracy of similar calculations for DMRG with open boundary conditions by several orders of magnitude.Comment: REVTeX format contains 8 pages and 6 figures, submitted to Phys.

Quantum fluctuation induced ordered phase in the Blume-Capel model

We consider the Blume-Capel model with the quantum tunneling between the excited states. We find a magnetically ordered phase transition induced by quantum fluctuation in a model. The model has no phase transition in the corresponding classical case. Usually, quantum fluctuation breaks ordered phase as in the case of the transverse field Ising model. However, in present case, an ordered phase is induced by quantum fluctuation. Moreover, we find a phase transition between a quantum paramagnetic phase and a classical diamagnetic phase at zero temperature. We study the properties of the phase transition by using a mean field approximation (MFA), and then, by a quantum Monte Carlo method to confirm the result of the MFA.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, corrected some typo

Application of the Density Matrix Renormalization Group Method to a Non-Equilibrium Problem

We apply the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method to a non-equilibrium problem: the asymmetric exclusion process in one dimension. We study the stationary state of the process to calculate the particle density profile (one-point function). We show that, even with a small number of retained bases, the DMRG calculation is in excellent agreement with the exact solution obtained by the matrix-product-ansatz approach.Comment: 8 pages, LaTeX (using jpsj.sty), 4 non-embedded figures, submitted to J.
