Double Potts chain and exact results for some two-dimensional models
Abstract
A closed-form exact analytical solution for the q-state Potts model on a ladder 2 x oo with arbitrary two-, three-, and four-site interactions in a unit cell is presented. Using the obtained solution it is shown that the finite-size internal energy equation yields an accurate value of the critical temperature for the triangular Potts lattice with three-site interactions in alternate triangular faces. It is argued that the above equation is exact at least for self-dual models on isotropic lattices.
