This can rarely be performed exactly, but systematic approximations are available to make the calculation man- ageable. The 1D Ising model is an exception in that the RG calculations can be carried out exactly. We will perform a decimation, whereby a partial evaluation of the partition function (7.2) is carried out by to summing over alternate spins on the lattice. The decimation proceeds by summing over the spins on, say, the odd sites. This is shown schematically in Fig. 7.1. The first step is to write the partition function in a form where the spins on the even and odd sites are separated: Z = {s2i=±1} 2i {s2i+1=±1} 2i+1 eK(s2is2i+1+s2i+1s2i+2 . (7.4) K K K K K K K K Figure 7.1: Decimation of the 1D Ising model. The spins on the sites marke by filled circles can be summed over independently, leaving a partition fun tion expressed only in terms of spins on sites marked by open circles. As indicated in Fig. 7.1, in a model that has interactions only between ad jacent spins,the spins on odd sites do not interact with one another. Thu the sums in the partition function over alternate sites may be evaluated in dependently of one another. The contributions from the odd sites can b determined by focussing on the contribution from a typical odd spin s2n+ Performing the partition sum over odd spins leaves only even spins: s2n+1=±1 eK(s2ns2n+1+s2n+1s2n+2) = eK(s2n+s2n+2) + e−K(s2n+s2n+2) = 2 cosh K(s2n + s2n+2 ) . (7.5 in terms of which the partition function becomes Z = {s2i=±1} 2i 2 cosh K(s2i + s2i+2 ) . (7.6 As noted above, this is an exact expression. 7.3 Recursion Relations The expression in (7.6) represents the partial evaluation of the partitio function obtained by summing over the spins on odd sites. This term ha two types of contributions: a spin-independent term from the removed (odd spins and a spin-dependent term from the remaining (even) spins. Notice tha the resulting interaction between spins does not appear to have the form the original Ising energy in (7.1). However, we now assert that the effect 2i 2i+2 for every configuration of neighboring spins s2i and s2i+1 . Ther configurations obtained from s2i = ±1 and s2i+2 = ±1, so we m s2i = +1 , s2i+2 = +1 , z(K)eK′ = 2 cosh 2K s2i = −1 , s2i+2 = −1 , z(K)eK′ = 2 cosh 2K s2i = +1 , s2i+2 = −1 , z(K)e−K′ = 2 , s2i = −1 , s2i+2 = +1 , z(K)e−K′ = 2 . Thus, there are only two distinct conditions to satisfy, one to aligned spins and one corresponding to opposed spins. T of pairs of configurations results from the up-down symmet model in the absence of a magnetic field. We can express the above in terms of K′ and z(K) separately by dividing and m two distinct equations, which yields, respectively, e2K′ = cosh 2K , z2(K) = 4 cosh 2K . The first of these equations can be solved for K′ in terms of K K′ = 1 2 ln(cosh 2K) . rmalization Group in Real Space 105 recursion relation for the coupling constant. This recursion relation ed entirely in terms of the original coupling constant, i.e. no new ns are generated by the decimation. This is a special property of ng model; in higher dimensions the RG generates additional inter- tween spins that are consistent with the symmetry of the original on (7.11) can be written in a more useful form by using the fact Helmholtz free energy F = −kB T ln Z is an extensive quantity, so is also extensive: ln Z = Nf(K), where N is the number of sites tem. Hence, Eq. (7.8) may be written as Z(K, N) = [z(K)]N/2Z(K′, N/2) , (7.13) This is the recursion relation for the coupling constant. This recursion relation is expressed entirely in terms of the original coupling constant, i.e. no new interactions are generated by the decimation. This is a special property of the 1D Ising model; in higher dimensions the RG generates additional inter- actions between spins that are consistent with the symmetry of the original model. Equation (7.11) can be written in a more useful form by using the fact that the Helmholtz free energy F = −kB T ln Z is an extensive quantity, so that ln Z is also extensive: ln Z = Nf(K), where N is the number of sites in the system. Hence, Eq. (7.8) may be written as Z(K, N) = [z(K)]N/2Z(K′, N/2) , (7.13) where, on account of Eq. (7.10), Z is the same function of K′ and 1 2 N on the right-hand side of this equation as it is of K and N on the left-hand side. Additionally, since the form of the energy is preserved after each decimation, the functional form of z(K) is preserved as well. Taking logarithms, we have ln Z(K, N) = Nf(K) = 1 2 N ln z(K) + 1 2 Nf(K′) , (7.14) which can be rearranged as f(K′) = 2f(K) − ln z(K) . (7.15) By invoking Eq. (7.11), we obtain f(K′) = 2f(K) − ln 2(cosh 2K)1/2 . (7.16) This is the second recursion relation of the 1D Ising model.

Figure 7.2: Schematic illustration of the recursive decimation of the 1 model. At each step, every second spin spin, indicated by the filled are incorporated into the partition function, which results in an Ising with the same energy, but with a renormalized coupling constant. 7.4 Fixed Points The behavior of the coupling constant under repeated decimation examined by first writing the recursion relation in Eq. (7.10) as K′ = Thus, beginning with an initial value K0 of the coupling constant, deci yields K1 = R(K0 ), a second decimation produces K2 = R(K1 ), and This can be represented diagrammatically as in Fig. 7.3. Suppose we have some initial value of the coupling constant K0 , Hamiltonian Partition func Free energy ( ) Sum over odd spins, → We can get the parameter relation between the original and coarse grained system : 104 The Renormalization Group in Real Spa this assertion. For the moment, we write Z = {s2i=±1} 2i 2 cosh K(s2i + s2i+2 ) = {s2i=±1} 2i z(K)eK′s2is2i+2 (7 = [z(K)]N/2 {s2i=±1} 2i eK′s2is2i+2 , (7 in which z(K) is the spin-independent part of the partition function a K′ is the new (i.e. renormalized) coupling constant. Consistency betw Eqs. (7.2) and (7.7) requires that 2 cosh K(s2i + s2i+2 ) = z(K)eK′s2is2i+2 (7 for every configuration of neighboring spins s2i and s2i+1 . There are four s configurations obtained from s2i = ±1 and s2i+2 = ±1, so we must have t K′ If we denote , we can derive For fixed point ( ), we get 108 The Renormalization Group in Real Space and the recursion relation reduces to f(K∗) ≈ ln 2(cosh 2K∗)1/2 = ln 2 + 1 2 ln(cosh 2K∗) . (7.18) As K → 0, cosh K → 1, so f(K∗) → ln 2 , (7.19) and the free energy F = −NkB Tf(K∗) = −NkB T ln 2 , (7.20) (For 2 dim, we get non-trivial result : ) 33/34
