Abstract. We propose a new perturbation approach ta finite-size elfects near the critical point within trie q~~ field theory for an n-cornponent order pararneter with periodic boundary conditions. Our approach is applicable bath above and below Tc. Calculations of finite-size

scaling functions of trie specific heat, susceptibility, order pararneter, and a cumulant ratio are

compared with Monte Carlo data for trie three-dimensional XY model. Gard overall agreement with trie Monte Carlo data is found.

l. Introduction

The çJ~ field

theory

of finite-size effects near the critical point as

proposed by

Brézin and Zinn-Justin

(BZ) Ill

and

by Rudnick,

Guo and Jasnow

(RGJ)

[2] has

recently

been further

developed by Esser, Dohm,

Hermes and

Wang

[3] and

by

Esser and Dohm [4]. While the çJ~

theory

of

BZ,

in its present

formulation,

is restricted to the

region

T > T~ the

approach

of RGJ is in

principle applicable

both above and below T~ but ils results are non

quantitatively

reliable for T < T~ [4]. For the case of a one-component order parameter

(Ising-like systems)

with

penodic boundary conditions,

the new

perturbation approach

of Esser et ai. [3, 4] leads to an effective Hamiltonian which can be considered as an appropnate

generalization

of the effective Hamiltonian of the çJ~

theory

of BZ a~ld can be used both above and below T~. The results obtained

by

this

approach

agree well with Monte Carlo data for the three-dimensional

Ising

mortel [3-5].

In this paper we consider the more

general

case of

O(n) symmetric

systems near T~ with

an n-component

(n

>

1)

order parameter. It is well known that for n > 1 the

long-distance properties

of the bulk system below T~ are

governed by

massless spm-wave

(Goldstone)

modes which get a small finite mass in a finite volume

Ill.

This case was studied

previously

neon T~

by

BZ

Ill by

means of a

low-temperature expansion

within the nonlinear a-model. Further studies have been

performed

in [6]. Here we shall treat these modes in a different way within the

O(n) symmetric

çJ~ model which is well suited for

quantitative

calculations of finite-size

scaling

functions in three dimensions. It tutus out that there exists no

straightforward

extension of the

effective Hamiltonian of the previous

(n

= 1) case [3,4] because of

spurious

infrared

singularities

in the bulk limit

arising

from the massless

(transverse) order-parameter

fluctuations below T~

[7]. Instead we propose an

appropriate perturbative

treatment of these transverse modes different from that of the

longitudinal order-parameter

fluctuations. As an

application

we

calculate various

thermodynarnic quantities

for the case n

= 2 in

one-loop

order of renormalized

perturbation theory

and compare our field-theoretic

predictions

with Monte Carlo data of the three-dimensional XY mortel

[8-12].

where

çJ(x)

is an n-component field in a finite cube of volume V

For

periodic boundary

conditions the field

çJ(x)

expanded

as

§~(X) "

k

where the summation runs over discrete k vectors with components k~ =

m~ =

i

1,2,..,d,

in the range (k~( < A.

Eventually

we shall let A - cc in the renormalized

theory.

Followmg

BZ and RGJ we

decompose çJ(x)

as

~J(x)

= 4l +

a(x) (3)

where

4l =

L~~çJo

=

L~~ / d~x çJ(x) (4)

is the most

important

mode and

a(x)

=

L~~ £

çJke~~'~

(5)

k#0

contains ail modes

higher

than the zerc-mode 4l. We

decompose a(x)

further into

longitudinal

and transverse parts

a(x)

=

aL(x)

+

aT(x) (6)

where

aL(x)

and

aT(x)

are

parallel

and

perpendicular

to the vector 4l,

respectively.

Corre-

spondingly

the Hamiltonian

(1)

is

decomposed

as

H = Ho(4~~) +

H', (7)

l~'

"

I~Î(~~>aL)+HÎ(~~>aT)+H2(~,aL>aT), (8)

where

Ho(4l~)

=

L~(~ro4l~

The calculation of the

partition

function Z =

/

DçJ

exp(-H) (13)

requires

functional

integrations

with respect to aL

(x)

and aT

(x)

and an

integration

with respect to 4l.

Performing

the aL and aT

integrations jirst

would

yield

the

partition

function in the form

Z =

/

d"4l

exp

(-Ho(4l~ r(4l~)j (14)

where

r(4l~)

= In

DaL DaT exp(-H') (15)

contains the contributions of the

hîgher

modes. For ro > o a

perturbative

treatment of

r(4l~)

based on the

decomposition (8)-(12)

is

straightforward.

For ro <

o, however,

the propagators

corresponding

to

Hi

and

Hf

may become

negative

which is the same

problem

as described in references [3, 4] for a one-component order parameter. Therefore one may attempt to avoid

this

problem by extending

the

previous

idea [3, 4] to

general

n, i e., one may introduce the

positive

parameters

roL " ro +

12~1oM/ (16)

and

roT = ro +

as the

unperturbated

part of the Hamiltonian H'. The

resulting perturbative expression

for

r(4l~)

would read to

(5)

But now a serious

problem

arises from the last term in equation

(21) containing

the sum

52(roT).

This sum

diverges

for ro < o in the limit L - cc because the transverse modes become

massless,

1-e-, roT - o for any ro < o in the bulk limit.

(Note

that

M]

tends to the

mean field value

-ro/4~1o

m the bulk limit for ro <

o).

Similar infrared

divergences arising

from the contributions of the transverse part aT will appear m

higher

order. Since the

partition

function is an

O(n)

invanant

quantity

which should not have Goldstone

singularities

[13] we

consider these

divergences

not as true

physical

Goldstone

singulanties

but

only

as a spunous effect due to an

inappropriate

formulation of the

theory. (These divergences

would not appear

m a

theory

at finite externat field h if the bulk limit L - cc is

performed

before

letting

h -

o.)

This means that

(our

above

generalization of)

the effective Hamiltonian of the çJ~

theory

of

BZ does not

meaningfully

exist below T~ for n > 1 due to the contributions of the transverse

part aT.

3. New Perturbation

Approach

In this paper we offer a solution to this

problem.

The main ideas are to introduce an effective Hamiltonian

arising only

from the contributions of the

longitudinal

part aL and to

change

the order of

integration:

we shall

perform

the

problematic

aT

integration ajier

the aL and 4l

integrations

have been carried ouf. Then no spurious Goldstone

singulanties

will arise in the limit L - cc.

The first step is to

perform

the

integration

over aL m a

perturbative

way. As

previously

[3, 4] we take

H) (Ml, aL)

as the

unperturbed

part and

AHI(4~~,aL)

=

Hl(4~~,aL)-Hl(MÎ,aL)

=

/ d~x(6~1o(4l~ M/)a(j (23)

as the

perturbative

part, in addition to H2.

Integration

over aL then

yields

the

partition

function to

leading

order

Z = DaT d"4l

exp(-Ho(4l~) H)(4l~,aT) rL(4l~) R(4l~,aT)j (24)

where

L-~r~(~2)

=

(L-~ L in(ro~

+

k2)

+

6~to(~2 Mi)si(ro~)

k#0

36u((4l~ M])~S2(roL)

+

O(~lo,~1(4l~,~1((4l~ M()~) (25)

is of the same form as

previously

[3, 4] and contains the

purely longitudinal

contributions of the

higher

modes

arising

from

AH)

+

H2.

The term

R(4l~, aT)

in

equation (24) corresponds

ta other contributions of

higher

order.

Following

Esser et ai. [3, 4] we define an effective

longitudinal

zero-mode Hamiltonian

H(~(4l~) according

to

Ho(4l~)

+

FL(4l~)

"

Hi~(4l~)

+

FL(°)

,

(26)

H(~(4l~)

=

L~( r(~4l~

+ ~1[~4l~)

(27)

2 with effective parameters

r(~

l2~1oSi(roL) +144~1(M(52(roL), (28)

~1(~ = ~lo

36~1(52(roL). (29)

(6)

Then we have

Z =

e~~L(°) / DaT /

d"4l

exp

(-H(~(4l~ H/(4l~, aT) R(4l~, aT)j. (30)

Next we shall

perform

the 4l

integration

while

treating Hf

+ R in a perturbative way. For this purpose we define trie effective average

Mj~

= < 4l~ >~a

=

£ /d"4l4l~ exp(-H(~(4l~)j, (31)

Z~a =

with

r((

(34)

as the

unperturbed

part of the contribution

Hf

(30) I~Î(~~, aT)

I~Î(ÀÎÎOE, aT)

~I~Î(~~> aT) (35)

with

~I~Î(~~,°T)

I~Î(~~>aT) I~Î(ÀÎÎOE,aT)

and

expand

part of the exponent of equation

(30)

to

leading

order as

exp

(-AH)(4l~, aT)j

" 1-

AH/(4l~, aT)

+

(AH/(4l~, aT)j

(37)

Now the 4l

integration yields

Z = Z~i e~~L(°~

Note that we have avoided any

expansion

of the exponent of

equation (30)

with respect to the

longit~ldinal

contribution

H(~(4l~)

for reasons

given previously

[3, 4].

The final step is to

perform

the Gaussian aT

integrations

m

equation (38). Using

the relation

~ (4~~ MÎOE)~~~ >eOE "

we obtain the result for the

Equations (40)

and

(42)

are the main results of our

(bare) perturbation approach

whose exten- sion to

higher

order is

straightforward.

The basic difference with the

approach

of RGJ [2] is the

following:

we evaluate the averages

m

equation (31)

and

equations (38)-(42)

with the effective statistical

weight

exp

(-H(~(4l~)j,

without further

expanding

this

weight,

which ensures that

as much

(perturbative)

information as

possible

is

exploited.

Results based on the

approach

of RGJ will be

presented

and discussed elsewhere

il?].

In order to describe the critical behavior

appropriately

it is necessary to tutu to the renor- malized

theory.

We have

employed

the minimal renormalization scheme at fixed d < 4

[14-16]

without using the e

= 4 d expansion. Some of our results for the case n = 2 and d

= 3 are

presented

in the next Section. The details of the renormalized

theory

are

parallel

to those in reference [4] and will be given elsewhere

Il?].

Applications

From In Z, equation

(40),

we can calculate the

specific

heat

using

the usual definition [16]

C = GB +

(a(C( (43)

with

~

~~

"

~~~~

From the averages < (4l(~' >,

equation (42),

we obtain the

susceptibility

(47)

= < 4l~ >,

(48)

and Binder's [18] cumulant ratio

U=1-)~(~ ~. (49)

(8)

The definitions we have taken here are

equivalent

to those used in Monte Carlo simulations

[8-12].

On the basis of the renormalized

theory

we can show

that,

for

suiliciently large

L and small (t( =

(T

T~(

/T~,

the

quantities

mentioned above can be written in the finite-size

scahng

form

C =

L"/~P~(tL~/~)+ÔB, (50)

x+

=

L~/~P/(tL~/~), (51)

M~

=

L~~~/~Pj~~(tL~/~), (52)

U

=

U(tL~/~). (53)

We have calculated the

asymptotic scaling

functions

P~, PI, Pf~

and U in

one-loop approxi-

mation m three dimensions. The

analytic

form of these functions will be

given

in reference

il?].

There are no

adjustable

parameters other thon those of the bulk

theory (1.e.,

the

amplitudes

of the

asymptotic

bulk

expressions

of the

susceptibility

and of the

specific

heat as well as

ÔB).

For

n = 2 and d

= 3 we have chosen these parameters such that in the limit L

- cc our

one-loop

results for the

specific

heat and

susceptibility

above T~ agree with the bulk

amplitudes given by

Ferer et ai. [19]

(for simple

cubic

lattices).

The bulk

amplitude

of the

magnetization

can

then be calculated from universal combinations of

amplitudes

[20].

In

Figures

1-8 our results for n

= 2 are

plotted (in

units of the lattice

constant)

and are

compared

with Monte Carlo data of the XY mortel with cubic

geometry and with

periodic boundary

conditions [8-12] for varions values of L.

We see that there is

and the Monte Carlo data. The

existing

differences may

partly

be due to our

one-loop approximation;

furthermore,

as

previously

[3,4], there are deviations due to

nonasymptotic effects,

in

particular

those of the

outside the

well below T~

which

are not yet induded in the
