Across Dimensions: Two- and Three-Dimensional Phase Transitions from the Iterative Renormalization-Group Theory of Chains


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Sharp two- and three-dimensional phase transitional magnetization curves are obtained by an iterative renormalization-group coupling of Ising chains, which are solved exactly. The chains by themselves do not have a phase transition or non-zero magnetization, but the method reflects crossover from temperature-like to field-like renormalization-group flows as the mechanism for the higher-dimensional phase transitions. The magnetization of each chain acts, via the interaction constant, as a magnetic field on its neighboring chains, thus entering its renormalization-group calculation. The method is highly flexible for wide application.
