Universality of continuous phase transitions on random Voronoi graphs
arXiv:1907.12494 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.100.062118
Abstract
The Voronoi construction is ubiquitous across the natural sciences and engineering. In statistical mechanics, though, critical phenomena have so far been only investigated on the Delaunay triangulation, the dual of a Voronoi graph. In this paper we set to fill this gap by studying the two most prominent systems of classical statistical mechanics, the equilibrium spin-1/2 Ising model and the non-equilibrium contact process, on two-dimensional random Voronoi graphs. Particular motivation comes from the fact that these graphs have vertices of constant coordination number, making it possible to isolate topological effects of quenched disorder from node-intrinsic coordination number disorder. Using large-scale numerical simulations and finite-size-scaling techniques, we are able to demonstrate that both systems belong to their respective clean universality classes. Therefore, quenched disorder introduced by the randomness of the lattice is irrelevant and does not influence the character of the phase transitions. We report the critical points of both models to considerable precision and, for the Ising model, also the first correction-to-scaling exponent.
