| Finite size scaling of the correlation length above the upper critical dimension (2004) | |||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||
| We show numerically that correlation length at the critical point in the five-dimensional Ising model varies with system size L as L^{5/4}, rather than proportional to L as in standard finite size scaling (FSS) theory. Our results confirm a hypothesis that FSS expressions in dimension d greater than the upper critical dimension of 4 should have L replaced by L^{d/4} for cubic samples with periodic boundary conditions. We also investigate numerically the logarithmic corrections to FSS in d = 4.. Comment: 5 pages, 6 postscript figures | |||||||||
