Two-dimensional critical Potts and its tricritical shadow

Abstract: These notes give examples of how suitably defined geometrical objects encode in their fractal structure thermal critical behavior. The emphasis is on the two-dimensional Potts model for which two types of spin clusters can be defined. Whereas the Fortuin-Kasteleyn clusters describe the standard critical behavior, the geometrical clusters describe the tricritical behavior that arises when including vacant sites in the pure Potts model. Other phase transitions that allow for a geometrical description discussed i… Show more

“…To make the connection with the minimal model M 5 [6] with central charge 4/5 one has to take into account relations of the kind χ I = χ (1,1) + χ (4,1) or χ ε = χ (1,2) + χ (1,3) where χ (r,s) is the Virasoro character of the operator φ (r,s) in the minimal Kac table. The boundary operator ψ ε transforming in the representation ε generates then the boundary conditions (1|2 + 3) and thus the interface SLE 24/5 discussed in [31].…”

“…Among these models, we mention for instance the critical percolation, the self-avoiding walks, the loop erased random walks, or again spin lattice models such as the Potts models [1]. These studies have benefited from a great amount of numerical work [4] supporting the proposed theoretical scenario. In general, the critical models whose geometrical properties are well understood, even if there are often no rigorous proofs, can be associated to the critical phases of a one-parameter family of statistical models, the O(n) loop models, the parameter n representing the loop fugacity.…”

“…This mathematical approach, which is built on random conformally invariant fractal curves, entails the identification of the models (1.5) with SLE κ (Schramm-Loewner Evolution) with κ = 4p ′ p . For percolation, with (p, p ′ ) = (2, 3) and κ = 6, the fractal dimensions d = 2(1 − ∆) of various fractal geometric curves are known [29,33,[49][50][51][52] including those of chordal SLE paths, hulls (H), cluster mass (C), external perimeter (EP) and red bonds (RB):…”

“…The belief that spin clusters are indeed conformally invariant for other values of Q = 2 in the critical regime 0 ≤ Q ≤ 4 has even been challenged at times, but seems however well established by now [6,7]. Some progress has been accomplished in the Q = 3 case [5,8] by speculating that the spin clusters in the critical Potts model would be equivalent to FK clusters in the tricritical Potts model [8,9]. This equivalence has however not been proven, and is moreover restricted so far to the simplest geometrical questions [10].…”
