MotivationTheoryResults

Motivation

Develop geometrical picture of phase transitions andcritical phenomena in terms of clusters or clusterboundaries (= loops in 2d) or high-temperature graphs

Relate thermodynamic critical exponents to the fractaldimension of the geometrical objects

Monte Carlo “worm” algorithm: Combined statistics ofloops (= energetic sector) and chains (= magnetic sector)[N. Prokof’ev & B. Svistunov, Phys. Rev. Lett. 87 (2001) 160 601]

Monte Carlo simulations: Worm update

Qualitative description:

Move end points of (open) chain through background ofloopsConnects loop and chain sector by reopening existingloops or creating new ones by self-closing or a “back bite”,leaving a loop behind

Quantitative update prescription (nb = 0, 1):

choose randomly either end point of the chainchoose randomly any of the links attachedupdate nb −→ n′

b = 1− nb with acceptance probability

Paccept = min(

1, K 1−2nb

)

(in effect: Paccept = K < 1 for bond creation, and alwaysaccept bond deletion)


CQ T


If start and end point of the chain are nearest neighbors, mixedloop/chain configuration can be turned into a pure loop gas –possible switch between magnetic and energetic sector

We always attempt to close the chain and, if accepted, proceedby randomly choosing a new link among all links of the latticefor the new location of the worm. The bond variable on that linkis accepted/rejected as usual.

Slightly different from Prokof’ev/Svistunov’s original proposal[PRL 87 (2001) 160 601], but close to Wolff’s version [NPB 810(2009) 491].

Basic scaling properties of loop gases

Distribution of loop length n, similar to percolation:

ℓn ∼ n−d/D−1e−θn , θ ∝ (K − Kc)1/σ .

Given: Tuning parameter K and dimension d (here d = 2)

Measured: Fractal dimension D and exponent σ, governingapproach to criticality at Kc

At criticality: Radius of gyration Rg, end-to-end distance Re (foropen chains):

〈R2g〉 ∝ 〈R2

e〉 ∼ n2/D


CQ T


Fractal dimension D for 2d models:

D = 1 + 1/2κ

(SLE classification, Coulomb gas, conformal field theory)

2d Ising: κ = 4/3 −→ D = 11/8 = 1.375

Parameter σ:
