Binary tree summation Monte Carlo simulation for Potts models

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

In this talk, we briefly comment on Sweeny and Gliozzi methods, cluster Monte Carlo method, and recent transition matrix Monte Carlo for Potts models. We mostly concentrate on a new algorithm known as "binary tree summation". Some of the most interesting features of this method will be highlighted - such as simulating fractional number of Potts states, as well as offering the partition function and thermodynamic quantities as functions of temperature in a single run.
