Phase Transition of the q-State Clock Model: Duality and Tensor Renormalization

We investigate the critical behavior and the duality property of the ferromagnetic q-state clock model on the square lattice based on the tensor-network formalism. From the entanglement spectra of local tensors defined in the original and dual lattices, we obtain the exact self-dual points for the m...

Summary:We investigate the critical behavior and the duality property of the ferromagnetic q-state clock model on the square lattice based on the tensor-network formalism. From the entanglement spectra of local tensors defined in the original and dual lattices, we obtain the exact self-dual points for the model with q ≤ 5 and approximate self-dual points for q ≥6. We calculate accurately the lower and upper critical temperatures for the six-state clock model from the fixed-point tensors determined using the higher-order tensor renormalization group method and compare with other numerical results.
