Dynamics of the 2d Potts model phase transition

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

The dynamics of 2d Potts models, which are temperature driven through the phase transition using updating procedures in the Glauber universality class, is investigated. We present calculations of the hysteresis for the (internal) energy and for Fortuin-Kasteleyn clusters. The shape of the hysteresis is used to define finite volume estimators of physical observables, which can be used to study the approach to the infinite volume limit. We compare with equilibrium configurations and the preliminary indications are that the dynamics leads to considerable alterations of the statistical properties of the configurations studied.
