ABSTRACT High-temperature series expansions of the spin-spin correlation functions of the RPn-1 spin model on the square lattice are computed through order β8 for general spin dimensionality n. Tables are reported for the expansion coefficients of the energy per site, the susceptibility, and the second correlation moment.

##### Article: Pathologies of the large-N limit for RPN−1, CPN−1, QPN−1 and mixed isovector/isotensor σ-models
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We compute the phase diagram in the N→∞ limit for lattice RPN−1, CPN−1 and QPN−1σ-models with the quartic action, and more generally for mixed isovector/isotensor models. We show that the N=∞ limit exhibits phase transitions that are forbidden for any finite N. We clarify the origin of these pathologies by examining the exact solution of the one-dimensional model: we find that there are complex zeros of the partition function that tend to the real axis as N→∞. We conjecture the correct phase diagram for finite N as a function of the spatial dimension d. Along the way, we prove some new correlation inequalities for a class of N-component σ-models, and we obtain some new results concerning the complex zeros of confluent hypergeometric functions.

##### Article: Infrared divergences in the largeN expansion
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigate a vectorial O(N) model with a generic nearest-neighbor interaction W(\bsigma_i\cdot \bsigma_j) (depending on {\cal N} tunable parameters), a Yukawa (and Gross Neveu) model with N_f fermions at finite temperature and the vectorial \phi^6 model, in the large N (N_f) limit. All this models exhibit a Mean Field critical point for N=\infinity. When 1/N fluctuations are included, infra red divergences appear near the critical point. In the framework of a generalized /N expansion we show that these divergences are related to a universal crossover mechanism between the Mean Field universality class (N=\infinity) and the nonclassical one for N
• ##### Article: COMPUTER SIMULATION STUDY OF A DISORDERED ONE-DIMENSIONAL NEMATOGENIC LATTICE MODEL WITH LONG-RANGE INTERACTIONS ISOTROPIC IN SPIN SPACE
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We have considered a classical spin system, consisting of 3-component unit vectors, associated with a one-dimensional lattice {uk, k ∈ Z}, and interacting via translationally invariant pair potentials, isotropic in spin space, and of the long-range form where ∊ is a positive constant setting energy and temperature scales (i.e. T* = kBT/∊). Extending previous rigorous results, one can prove the existence of an ordering transition at finite temperature when 0 < σ < 1, and its absence when σ ≥ 1. We have studied the border case σ = 1, by means of computer simulation. Similarly to the magnetic counterparts of the present model, we found evidence suggesting a transition to a low-temperature phase with slow decay of correlations and infinite susceptibility, i.e. a Berezhinskiǐ–Kosterlitz–Thouless-like transition; the transition temperature was estimated to be Θ = 0.475 ± 0.005.
