Lattices of effectively nonintegral dimensionality

Dhar, Deepak

Abstract

We construct a class of lattice systems that have effectively nonintegral dimensionality. A reasonable definition of effective dimensionality applicable to lattice systems is proposed and the effective dimensionalities of these lattices are determined. The renormalization procedure is used to determine the critical behavior of the classical XY model and the Fortuin–Kasteleyn cluster model on the truncated tetrahedron lattice which is shown to have the effective dimensionality 2 log3 /log5. It is found that no phase transition occurs at any finite temperature.
