Abstract

The standard infinite-volume definition of connected correlation function and particle mass in the 3-state Potts model can be implemented in Monte Carlo simulations by using C-periodic spatial boundary conditions. This avoids both the breaking of translation invariance (cold wall b.c.) and the phase-dependent and thus possibly biased evaluation of data (periodic boundary cconditions). The numerical feasibility of the standard definitions is demonstrated by sample computations on a 24*24*48 lattice.
