Study of Cluster Fluctuations in Two-dimensional q-State Potts Model

preprint1997arXivOpen access

Abstract

The two-dimensional Potts Model with 2 to 10 states is studied using a cluster algorithm to calculate fluctuations in cluster size as well as commonly used quantities like equilibrium averages and the histograms for energy and the order parameter. Results provide information about the variation of cluster sizes depending on the temperature and the number of states. They also give evidence for first-order transition when energy and the order parameter related measurables are inconclusive on small size lattices.
