Asymptotic freedom with discrete spin variables?
Abstract
We study the critical behaviour of the 2d dodecahedron spin model and investigate the conjecture that the discrete model describes the same continuum theory as the O(3) non-linear sigma model. In particular, we found that the anisotropy of the magnetization A(z) measured in a fixed physical volume decreases with increasing correlation length, at least up to ≈ 1000.
