Yang-Lee zeros and the critical behavior of the infinite-range two- and three-state Potts models
arXiv:1302.7197 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.87.022140
Abstract
The phase diagram of the two- and three-state Potts model with infinite-range interactions, in the external field is analyzed by studying the partition function zeros in the complex field plane. The tricritical point of the three-state model is observed as the approach of the zeros to the real axis at the nonzero field value. Different regimes, involving several first- and second-order transitions of the complicated phase diagram of the three state model are identified from the scaling properties of the zeros closest to the real axis. The critical exponents related to the tricritical point and the Yang-Lee edge singularity are well reproduced. Calculations are extended to the negative fields, where the exact implicit expression for the transition line is derived.
