The renormalization group flow is extracted from the landscape of the effective central charge obtained by the transfer matrix method based on the Zamolodchikov's C-theorem. We find a line of random fixed points (FPs) for $n_c < n <1$, with $n_c \\sim 0.5$, for which the central charge and critical exponents agree well with the results of the $1-n$ perturbative expansion. Furthermore, for $n> n_c$, we find a line of multicritical FPs at strong randomness. The FP at $n=1$ has $c=0.4612(4)$, which suggests that it belongs to the universality class of the Nishimori point in the $\\pm J$ random-bond Ising model. For $n>2$, we find another critical line that connects the hard-hexagon FP in the pure model to a finite-randomness zero-temperature FP.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-02-10T09:41:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05.70.Jk", "11.25.Hf", "64.60.De" ], "keywords": [ "phase diagram", "strong-coupling fixed point", "loop model", "worm monte carlo methods", "central charge" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Physics A Mathematical General", "year": 2014, "month": "Mar", "volume": 47, "number": 12, "pages": 122001 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1249902, "adsabs": "2014JPhA...47l2001S" } } }
