Phase Diagram and Critical Behaviour of the Two-Dimensional Potts Model with Long-Range Quenched Disorder

Abstract

We study the phase diagram and critical properties of the $q = 3$ and $q = 8$ Potts models with spatially correlated disorder governed by a power-law decay with exponent $a$. Building on the phase diagram proposed by Chippari et al. [3], where a transition from finite-disorder to infinite-disorder fixed points was identified as a function of a, we refine this picture by using wrapping probabilities of Fortuin-Kasteleyn clusters. Furthermore, using magnetic observables, we clarify the physical origin of the double-peak structure in the magnetic susceptibility and establish the validity of the hyper-scaling relation across all investigated regimes.
