The specific heat of the $x-y$ model is studied on cubic lattices of sizes $L \times L \times L$ and on lattices $L \times L \times H$ with $L \gg H$ (i.e. on lattices representing a film geometry) using the Cluster Monte Carlo method.…
Using Monte Carlo simulations we have studied the $d=3$ $Z_q$ clock model in two different representations, the phase-representation and the loop/dumbbell-gas (LDG) representation. We find that for $q \ge 5$ the critical exponents $\alpha$…
This paper is a study of some of the critical properties of a simple model for flux. The model is motivated by gauge theory and is equivalent to the Ising model in three dimensions. The phase with condensed flux is studied. This is the…
