Asymptotic freedom with discrete spin variables?

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We study the critical behaviour of the 2d dodecahedron spin model and investigate the conjecture that the discrete model describes the same continuum theory as the O(3) non-linear sigma model. In particular, we found that the anisotropy of the magnetization A(z) measured in a fixed physical volume decreases with increasing correlation length, at least up to \xi \approx 1000.
