Abstract

We discuss the next-to-leading (but dominant for dimension less than six) corrections to the large-$N$ behavior of the magnetization at the Yang-Lee edge singularity. The $N$ dependence of the corresponding amplitude is valid for all dimensions below six.

Highlights

  • The role of zeros of the partition function was first pointed out by Yang and Lee.' The location of these zeros in the complex chemical-potential plane, for the case of a fluid, or in the complex magnetic-field plane, in the case of a spin system, plays a crucial role in the onset of phase transitions

  • The X dependence of the corresponding amplitude is valid for all dimensions below six

  • For an Ising system, Yang and Lee showed that all of the zeros lie on the imaginary magnetic field H axis and as long as T & T, it is generally believed that they do not come down to h =0
