Cluster mechanisms in the fully frustrated Ising model

Abstract

The cluster algorithm in the fully frustrated Ising model on the square lattice is essentially different from the ones used in other systems. Thus its better understanding is particularly important for finding new lines of development. Therefore we investigate it in detail. In our simulations of high statistics more appropriate choices of the probability for freezing bonds and of that for flipping spins are seen to lead to better results. In an analysis of the topological properties we derive a set of rules for possible cluster configurations and give a classification by pairs of winding numbers.
