The Fortuin-Kasteleyn and Damage Spreading transitions in Random bond Ising lattices

Abstract

The Fortuin-Kasteleyn and heat-bath damage spreading temperatures T_{FK}(p) and T_{ds}(p) are studied on random bond Ising models of dimension two to five and as functions of the ferromagnetic interaction probability p; the conjecture that T_{ds}(p) ~ T_{FK}(p) is tested. It follows from a statement by Nishimori that in any such system exact coordinates can be given for the intersection point between the Fortuin-Kasteleyn T_{FK}(p) transition line and the Nishimori line, [p_{NL,FK},T_{NL,FK}]. There are no finite size corrections for this intersection point. In dimension three, at the intersection concentration [p_{NL,FK}] the damage spreading T_{ds}(p) is found to be equal to T_{FK}(p) to within 0.1%. For the other dimensions however T_{ds}(p) is observed to be systematically a few percent lower than T_{FK}(p).
