q-state Potts model on the Apollonian network

The q-state Potts model is studied on the Apollonian network with Monte Carlo simulations and the Transfer Matrix method. The spontaneous magnetization, correlation length, entropy, and specific heat are analyzed as a function of temperature for different number of states, $q$. Different scaling functions in temperature and $q$ are proposed. A quantitative agreement is found between results from both methods. No critical behavior is observed in the thermodynamic limit for any number of states.
