The two-dimensional Ising model is a fundamental model in statistical physics that describes magnetic spins arranged on a square lattice. Each spin can point up or down, represented by plus one or minus one. The spins interact with their nearest neighbors through exchange coupling J. The Tensor Network Renormalization Group method provides a powerful way to study this model's critical behavior and phase transitions by representing the partition function as a network of tensors.
To apply tensor network methods, we represent the partition function as a network of tensors. Each lattice site becomes a tensor with four indices corresponding to the four nearest-neighbor bonds. The tensor elements encode the local Boltzmann weights. When we contract all these tensors together, we obtain the partition function Z. This tensor network representation is the foundation for the renormalization group transformation.
The Tensor Renormalization Group process works by systematically coarse-graining the tensor network. We start with a fine lattice of tensors and group them into two-by-two blocks. Using Singular Value Decomposition, we decompose these blocks into new, larger tensors that capture the essential physics. This process is repeated iteratively, doubling the lattice spacing at each step while preserving the critical behavior of the system.
The Tensor Renormalization Group reveals the renormalization group flow structure of the two-dimensional Ising model. The high-temperature disordered phase and low-temperature ordered phase both flow to trivial fixed points under repeated coarse-graining. However, at the critical temperature T_c, the system exhibits a non-trivial fixed point that encodes the universal critical behavior. From this fixed point tensor, we can extract critical exponents and study the phase transition with high precision.
The Tensor Renormalization Group method offers significant advantages for studying the two-dimensional Ising model. It provides highly accurate calculations of thermodynamic quantities, precise determination of the critical temperature, and reliable extraction of universal critical exponents. The accuracy improves systematically with increasing bond dimension. TRG has become a foundational technique that paved the way for advanced tensor network methods used in quantum many-body systems, making it an essential tool in modern computational physics.
