Higher-order tensor renormalization group approach to lattice glass model

Abstract: In this study, the higher-order tensor renormalization group (HOTRG) method is applied to a lattice glass model that has local constraints on the occupation number of neighboring particles represented by many-body interactions. This model exhibits first- and second-order transitions depending on a certain model parameter. The results obtained by using the HOTRG method for the model were confirmed to be consistent with those obtained by a Markov-chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method for systems of relatively small sizes. The transition points are accurately estimated by the HOTRG calculation for the systems of large sizes, which is challenging to perform using the MCMC method. These results demonstrate that the HOTRG method can be an efficient method for studying systems with many-body interactions.
