The ferro/antiferromagnetic q-state Potts model

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The critical properties of the mixed ferro/antiferromagnetic q-state Potts model on the square lattice are investigated using the numerical transfer matrix technique. The transition temperature is found to be substantially lower than previously found for q=3. It is conjectured that there is no transition for q>3, in contradiction with previous results.
