Coarse-graining approach to first-order phase transitions

  • 1. CNRS, Bures-sur-Yvette, France

Description

On an example of a simple spin system with two ground states and no symmetry, they show how to control low-temperature systems near first-order phase transitions by a straightforward renormalization group argument. The method, as opposed to the Pirogov-Sinai approach, also works for complex Hamiltonians
