Griffiths singularities and algebraic order in the exact solution of an Ising model on a fractal modular network | | Michael Hinczewski

15 Jan 2007 | | Subject: | Disordered Systems and Neural Networks | | Abstract: | We use an exact renormalization-group transformation to study the Ising model on a complex network composed of tightly-knit communities nested hierarchically with the fractal scaling recently discovered in a variety of real-world networks. Varying the ratio K/J of of inter- to intra-community coupling, we obtain an unusual phase diagram: at high temperatures or small K/J we have a disordered phase with a Griffiths singularity in the free energy, due to the presence of rare large clusters. As the temperature is lowered, true long-range order is not seen, but there is a transition to algebraic order, where pair correlations have power-law decay with distance, reminiscent of the XY model. The transition is infinite-order at small K/J, and becomes second-order above a threshold value (K/J)_m. The existence of such slowly decaying correlations is unexpected in a fat-tailed scale-free network, where correlations longer than nearest-neighbor are typically suppressed. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0701349 | | Other source: | [GID 1036180] pmid17677217 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
