摘要
Using a graphical representation based on the Wolff algorithm, the (classical) d-dimensional XY model and some related spin-systems are studied. It is proved that in d = 2, the predicted discontinuity in the spin-wave stiffness indeed occurs. Further, the critical properties of the spin-system are related to percolation properties of the graphical representation. In particular, a suitably defined notion of percolation in the graphical representation is proved to be the necessary and sufficient condition for positivity of the spontaneous magnetization.
