The Potts model

by: F. Y. Wu
Reviews of Modern Physics, Vol. 54, No. 1. (January 1982), 235.

X Abstract

This is a tutorial review on the Potts model aimed at bringing out in an organized fashion the essential and important properties of the standard Potts model. Emphasis is placed on exact and rigorous results; but other aspects of the problem are also described to achieve a unified perspective. Topics reviewed include the mean-field theory; duality relations; series expansions; critical properties; experimental realizations; and the relationship of the Potts model with other lattice-statistical problems.

  • connection to resistor networks (same guy as Theory of Two-point Resistance)
  • p.251 effective resistance comes out of limit of Potts partition function
  • p.18 Kirkhoff's result, 4.27/4.34 (evaluating resistance through spanning trees, also see Bapat/Gutman "A simple method")
  • resistance between two nodes in terms of ratio of partition function of Potts model
  • a way to evaluate the number of spanning trees (complete self-avoiding walks) for any lattice

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
