Tensor-network renormalization approach to the q-state clock model

We simulate the phase diagram and critical behavior of the q-state clock model on the square lattice by using the state-of-the-art loop optimization for tensor-network renormalization (loop-TNR) algorithm. The two phase transition points for q≥5 are determined with very high accuracy. Furthermore, b...

description We simulate the phase diagram and critical behavior of the q-state clock model on the square lattice by using the state-of-the-art loop optimization for tensor-network renormalization (loop-TNR) algorithm. The two phase transition points for q≥5 are determined with very high accuracy. Furthermore, by computing the conformal scaling dimensions for both transition points, we are able to determine the radius R of the compactified boson theories at both transition points with high precision. In particular, the radius R at higher temperature phase transition point is precisely the same as the one predicted by Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition. Moreover, we find that the fixed-point tensors at higher temperature transition point also converge to the same one approximately for large enough q and the corresponding operator product expansion (OPE) coefficient of the compactified boson theory can also be read out directly from the fixed-point tensor.
