A Potts/Ising correspondence on Thin Graphs

D A Johnston


Abstract

We note that it is possible to construct a bond vertex model which displays q-state Potts criticality on an ensemble of phi3 random graphs of arbitrary topology (``thin'' random graphs).

Since the four vertex model in question also serves to describe the critical behaviour of the Ising model in field, the formulation reveals a surprising isomorphism between the Potts and Ising models on thin random graphs.
