Initial tensor construction for the tensor renormalization group

We propose a method to construct the initial tensor representation of partition functions and observables for the tensor renormalization group (TRG). The TRG is a numerical calculation technique that utilizes a tensor network representations of physical quantities to investigate physical properties without encountering the sign problem. To apply the TRG, it is essential to construct a locally connected tensor network suitable for recursive coarse-graining. We present a systematic approach for translating a general tensor representation of the partition function to this form. Furthermore, we show the dependence of TRG algorithms on the choice of the initial tensor network representation and propose an improvement of TRG algorithms in this respect
