The critical behavior of statistical models with long-range interactions exhibits distinct regimes as a function of ρ, the power of the interaction strength decay. For large enough ρ, ρ>ρsr, the critical behavior is observed to coincide with that of the short-range model. However, there are controversial aspects regarding this picture, one of which is the value of the short-range threshold ρsr in the case of the long-range XY model in two dimensions. We study the 2D XY model on the diluted graph, a sparse graph obtained from the 2D lattice by rewiring links with probability decaying with the Euclidean distance of the lattice as |r|-ρ, which is expected to feature the same critical behavior of the long-range model. Through Monte Carlo sampling and finite-size analysis of the spontaneous magnetization and of the Binder cumulant, we present numerical evidence that ρsr=4. According to such a result, one expects the model to belong to the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless universality class for ρ≥4, and to present a second-order transition for ρ<4.

Abstract

The critical behavior of statistical models with long-range interactions exhibits distinct regimes as a function of ρ, the power of the interaction strength decay. For large enough ρ, ρ>ρsr, the critical behavior is observed to coincide with that of the short-range model. However, there are controversial aspects regarding this picture, one of which is the value of the short-range threshold ρsr in the case of the long-range XY model in two dimensions. We study the 2D XY model on the diluted graph, a sparse graph obtained from the 2D lattice by rewiring links with probability decaying with the Euclidean distance of the lattice as |r|-ρ, which is expected to feature the same critical behavior of the long-range model. Through Monte Carlo sampling and finite-size analysis of the spontaneous magnetization and of the Binder cumulant, we present numerical evidence that ρsr=4. According to such a result, one expects the model to belong to the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless universality class for ρ≥4, and to present a second-order transition for ρ<4.
