Generalized Crossover in multiparameter Hamiltonians

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-07 v2 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

Many systems near criticality can be described by Hamiltonians involving several relevant couplings and possessing many nontrivial fixed points. A simple and physically appealing characterization of the crossover lines and surfaces connecting different nontrivial fixed points is presented. Generalized crossover is related to the vanishing of the RG function Zt1Z_t^{-1}. An explicit example is discussed in detail based on the tetragonal GLW Hamiltonian.
