The critical temperature in renormalization group studies of first order phase transitions

We perform a renormalization group study of the first order phase transition of the two dimensional Z(10) Potts model for which an ambiguous determination of the critical temperature was claimed. Allowing the system to flip between the two different phases in the large-volume limit near the critical...

Description
Summary:We perform a renormalization group study of the first order phase transition of the two dimensional Z(10) Potts model for which an ambiguous determination of the critical temperature was claimed. Allowing the system to flip between the two different phases in the large-volume limit near the critical point one can determine the critical temperature without ambiguity.
