Cubic fixed point in three dimensions: Monte Carlo simulations of the model on the simple cubic lattice

M Hasenbusch - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We study the cubic fixed point for N= 3 and 4 by using finite-size scaling applied to data
obtained from Monte Carlo simulations of the N-component ϕ 4 model on the simple cubic …

Bootstrap** the long-range Ising model in three dimensions

C Behan - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
The 3D Ising model and the generalized free scalar of dimension at least 0.75 belong to a
continuous line of nonlocal fixed points, each referred to as a long-range Ising model. They …
