Metastability in the Potts model: exact results in the large q limit

Statistical Mechanics 2021-03-18 v4

Abstract

We study the metastable equilibrium properties of the Potts model with heat-bath transition rates using a novel expansion. The method is especially powerful for large number of state spin variables and it is notably accurate in a rather wide range of temperatures around the phase transition.
