Abstract

We calculate complex-temperature (CT) zeros of the partition function for the qq-state Potts model on the honeycomb and kagom\'e lattices for several values of qq. These give information on the CT phase diagrams. A comparison of results obtained for different boundary conditions and a discussion of some CT singularities are given. Among other results, our findings show that the Potts antiferromagnet with q=4q=4 and q=5q=5 on the kagom\'e lattice has no phase transition at either finite or zero temperature.
