Zeros of the Potts Model Partition Function on Sierpinski Graphs

Statistical Mechanics 2013-02-01 v1

Abstract

We calculate zeros of the qq-state Potts model partition function on mm'th-iterate Sierpinski graphs, SmS_m, in the variable qq and in a temperature-like variable, yy. We infer some asymptotic properties of the loci of zeros in the limit mm \to \infty and relate these to thermodynamic properties of the qq-state Potts ferromagnet and antiferromagnet on the Sierpinski gasket fractal, SS_\infty.
