Universal amplitude-exponent relation for the Ising model on sphere-like lattices

Statistical Mechanics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

Conformal field theory predicts finite-size scaling amplitudes of correlation lengths universally related to critical exponents on sphere-like, semi-finite systems Sd1×RS^{d-1}\times\mathbb{R} of arbitrary dimensionality dd. Numerical studies have up to now been unable to validate this result due to the intricacies of lattice discretisation of such curved spaces. We present a cluster-update Monte Carlo study of the Ising model on a three-dimensional geometry using slightly irregular lattices that confirms the validity of a linear amplitude-exponent relation to high precision.
