We study the phase diagram of the three-state Potts model on a triangular lattice with general interactions (ferro/antiferromagnetic) between nearest neighbor spins. When the interactions along two lattice-vector directions are…
We classify four-state spin models with interactions along the edges according to their behavior under a specific group of symmetry transformations. This analysis uses the measure of complexity of the action of the symmetries, in the spirit…
Generalizing the mapping between the Potts model with nearest neighbor interaction and six vertex model, we build a family of "fused Potts models" related to the spin $k/2$ ${\rm U}_{q}{\rm su}(2)$ invariant vertex model and quantum spin…
The Potts model is one of the most popular spin models of statistical physics. The prevailing majority of work done so far corresponds to the lattice version of the model. However, many natural or man-made systems are much better described…
We consider the Potts model on a two-dimensional periodic rectangular lattice with general coupling constants $J_{ij}>0$, where $i,j\in\{1,2,3\}$ are the possible spin values (or colors). The resulting energy landscape is thus significantly…
The nonequilibrium dynamics of a cycling three-state Potts model is studied on a square lattice using Monte Carlo simulations and continuum theory. This model is relevant to chemical reactions on a catalytic surface and to molecular…
The three-state Potts model is numerically investigated on three-dimensional simple cubic lattices of up to \(128^3\) volume, concentrating on the neighborhood of the first-order phase transition separating the ordered and disordered…
We study a generalization of the well-known classical two-dimensional square lattice compass model of XY spins (sometimes referred to as the 90$^\circ$ compass model), which interpolates between the XY model and the compass model. Our model…
We study the q-state Potts model on the simple cubic lattice with ferromagnetic interactions in one lattice direction, and antiferromagnetic interactions in the two other directions. As the temperature T decreases, the system undergoes a…
The three-state Potts model is numerically investigated on three-dimensional simple cubic lattices of up to \(128^3\) volume, concentrating on the neighborhood of the first-order phase transition separating the ordered and disordered…
We propose stacked two-dimensional lattice designs of frustrated and SO(3) symmetric spin models consisting of antiferromagnetic (AFM) triangular and ferromagnetic (FM) sixfold symmetric sublattices that realize emergent Z3 Potts nematic…
We study the antiferromagnetic $q$-state Potts model on the square lattice for $q=3$ and $q=4$, using the Wang-Swendsen-Koteck\'y Monte Carlo algorithm and a new finite-size-scaling extrapolation method. For $q=3$ we obtain good control up…
The antiferromagnetic three-state Potts model on the simple-cubic lattice is studied using Monte Carlo simulations. The ordering in a medium temperature range below the critical point is investigated in detail. Two different regimes have…
It is widely believed that the phase transition for the four-state ferromagnetic Potts model on the square lattice is of the pseudo-first order. Specifically, it is expected that first-order phase transition behavior is found on small…
We studied the long-term nonequilibrium dynamics of $q$-state Potts models with $q=4$, $5$, $6$, and $8$ using Monte Carlo simulations on a two-dimensional square lattice. When the contact energies between the nearest neighbors for the…
We give a general condition for a discrete spin system with nearest-neighbor interactions on the $\mathbb{Z}^d$ lattice to exhibit long-range order. The condition is applicable to systems with residual entropy in which the long-range order…
We study the four-state antiferromagnetic Potts model on the triangular lattice. We show that the model has six types of defects which diffuse and annihilate according to certain conservation laws consistent with their having a…
A crossing probability for the critical four-state Potts model on an $L\times M$ rectangle on a square lattice is numerically studied. The crossing probability here denotes the probability that spin clusters cross from one side of the…
The Potts model with invisible states was introduced to explain discrepancies between theoretical predictions and experimental observations of phase transitions in some systems where $Z_q$ symmetry is spontaneously broken. It differs from…
A system of hard spheres exhibits physics that is controlled only by their density. This comes about because the interaction energy is either infinite or zero, so all allowed configurations have exactly the same energy. The low density…
