Metastability in the Potts model: exact results in the large q limit
arXiv:2003.03126 · doi:10.1088/1742-5468/ab8556
Abstract
We study the metastable equilibrium properties of the Potts model with heat-bath transition rates using a novel expansion. The method is especially powerful for large number of state spin variables and it is notably accurate in a rather wide range of temperatures around the phase transition.
