PB - EDP sciences Y1 - 2018 LA - eng AB - Coupling spin models to complex external fields can give rise to interesting phenomena like zeroes of the partition function (Lee-Yang zeroes, edge singularities) or oscillating propagators. Unfortunately, it usually also leads to a severe sign problem that can be overcome only in special cases; if the partition function has zeroes, the sign problem is even representation-independent at these points. In this study, we couple the N-state Potts model in different ways to a complex external magneti... VO - IS - SP - OP - KW - 114 Physical sciences; 115 Astronomy, Space science N1 - PP - ER -
