UK Meeting on Integrable Models and Conformal Field heory University of Kent, Canterbury 16-17 April 21 FIELD HEORY OF ISING PERCOLAING CLUSERS Gesualdo Delfino SISSA-rieste Based on : GD, Nucl.Phys.B 818 (29) 196 (arxiv:92.3339 [hep-th])
he Ising model is the basic example of magnetic phase transition: spontaneous magnetization below c Percolation is the basic example of geometric phase transition: infinite cluster above p c he Ising model, however, encodes itself a percolation problem for clusters of magnetically interacting spins here is no interaction other than the magnetic one Naive expectation: cluster criticality is associated to magnetic criticality. Not true Mean cluster size can diverge while magnetic correlation length is finite he issue can be resolved exactly in d = 2 (integrability, but not the Ising one...)
Ising percolation H Ising = 1 σ i σ j + H i ij σ i, σ i = ±1 ( ) No magnetic transition away from c, H = H =+1 c = 1 P probability that a site belongs to an infinite cluster of + spins (percolative order parameter) H c ( ) such that P > for H > H c ( ) H c () = e H c( ) 2 cosh H c ( ) = p c p c = critical point of random percolation (non-universal)
hree observations: i) H c ( ) monotonic ii) spontaneous magnetization = infinite cluster (Coniglio et al 77) iii) p c p c at H = (interaction makes percolation easier) Consequences: H a) p c > 1/2, i.e. H c( ) > P > H c () i), ii) = H c ( ) = for c c b) p c < 1/2, i.e. H c( ) < H p = 1/2 for c, H = iii) = p < c p c H c () Ordinary lattices in d = 2 have p c 1/2 a) d = 3 have p c < 1/2 b)
