Abstract

With the help of the improved Monte Carlo renormalization-group scheme, we numerically investigate the renormalization group flow of the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg and XY spin model on the stacked triangular lattice (STA-model) and its effective Hamiltonian, 2N-component chiral model which is used in the field-theoretical studies. We find that the XY-STA model with the lattice size exhibits clear first-order behavior. We also find that the renormalization-group flow of STA model is well reproduced by the chiral model, and that there are no chiral fixed point of renormalization-group flow for N=2 and 3 cases. This result indicates that the Heisenberg-STA model also undergoes first-order transition.
