Dynamic critical exponents of the Ising model with multispin interactions

Abstract

We revisit the short-time dynamics of 2D Ising model with three spin interactions in one direction and estimate the critical exponents $z,$ $\theta,$ $\beta$ and $\nu$. Taking properly into account the symmetry of the Hamiltonian we obtain results completely different from those obtained by Wang et al.. For the dynamic exponent $z$ our result coincides with that of the 4-state Potts model in two dimensions. In addition, results for the static exponents $\nu$ and $\beta$ agree with previous estimates obtained from finite size scaling combined with conformal invariance. Finally, for the new dynamic exponent $\theta$ we find a negative and close to zero value, a result also expected for the 4-state Potts model according to Okano et al.
