Abstract

A phenomenon of "algebraic self-similarity" on 3d cubic lattice, providing what can be called an algebraic analogue of Kadanoff--Wilson theory, is shown to possess a 4d version as well. Namely, if there is a 4×44\times 4 matrix AA whose entries are indeterminates over the field F2\mathbb F_2, then the 2×2×2×22\times 2\times 2\times 2 block made of sixteen copies of AA reveals the existence of four direct "block spin" summands corresponding to the same matrix AA. Moreover, these summands can be written out in quite an elegant way. Somewhat strikingly, if the entries of AA are just zeros and ones -- elements of F2\mathbb F_2 -- then there are examples where two more "block spins" split out, and this time with different AA's.
