The bond-dilutedZ(q) ferromagnetic model: criticality and break-collapse method

Abstract

Within a real-space renormalization group (RG) which preserves two-site correlation functions, we study, on the square lattice, the criticality of the bond-diluted Z(q) ferromagnetic model. We generalize the `break-collapse method' which simplifies greatly the exact calculation of arbitrary Z(q) two-terminal clusters (commonly appearing in RG approaches) mainly for a large value of q. We reproduce, in the pure case, several known exact results. The structure of the phase diagrams, for all the values of q, is obtained with a good precision. The massless spin - wave-like phase, which evolves into the Kosterlitz - Touless phase for , occurs around (in agreement with the well known exact result). The structure of the phase diagrams in the diluted case is qualitatively similar to that obtained from the pure model. The massless spin - wave-like phase resists in an interval of concentration p which increases for the large values of q.
