AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the Edwards-Anderson Hamiltonian for a Hopf link, focusing on the complexities of interactions between sites in an Ising model. The user seeks clarification on how to account for multiple interactions, including both ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic types, between the same pair of sites. They reference a conversation with Professor David P. Landau, who suggests that retaining frustration through symmetric delta-function couplings may be necessary for extending the original model. The user is uncertain about the implications of this suggestion, particularly regarding ground state degeneracy and whether to treat the interactions as a superposition. They also inquire if their spin system can be considered a non-linear Ising model based on existing literature.

Hi,

I was calculating the Edwards-Anderson Hamiltonian of a Hopf link. A hopf link is like attachment 1. I have drawn the Seifert surface of that link. The surface is shown in attachment 2. It also contains the Boltzmann weight. So, this is an Ising model. I am confused as there are more than one interaction between a pair of sites. How will I keep that consideration when I calculate the Edwards-Anderson Hamiltonian.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

A quick supplementary question: should I model it as a frustrated Ising system?
 
I have another question. Can there be both ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic interactions between two sites of an Ising model at the same time? In the attached picture you can see that two Ising sites have two interactions, one ferromagnetic and one anti-ferromagnetic.
 
I talked with Professor David P. Landau on this issue.

Let me quote his suggestion: "I think that you are attempting to produce an extension of the original Edwards-Anderson model, and I imagine that retention of the frustration through symmetric delta-function couplings is all that is needed.".
 
This is my reply to Professor David P. Landau:

Hi Dr. Landau,

Thank you very much for your reply. A Hopf link is a standard topological construct. To derive the equivalent spin model from it, we have to draw its Seifert surface first. The attached hopf_link.jpg is the Hopf link and hopf-seifert-pattern-1-oriented-boltzman.pdf shows how a spin model can be derived from its surface. To do this, we have to mark the Hopf link in a checker board pattern. Then the marked parts are considered as sites of a spin model and the oriented crossings are considered interactions among them. That's how we get a spin model from a link or knot. Here I have two sites with more than one interactions between them. The same pair of sites have one ferromagnetic and one anti-ferromagnetic interactions between them.

If the assumption of the original Edwards-Anderson model is that any two sites will have only one interaction between them, you are right that I am trying to extend it. I am not exactly sure what you meant by 'retention of the frustration through symmetric delta-function couplings'.

It looks, by 'retention of frustration', you indicated that I should expect degeneracy in finding the ground state of the system. Do you think that the degeneracy will give us two separate spin systems one with a ferromagnetic interaction and one with anti-ferromagnetic interaction?

I am not familiar with the term 'symmetric delta-function couplings'. I have tried to look up introductory resources for this term. Do you indicate that I have to calculate a superposition of these two different interactions and only consider the single resultant interaction? I have found another paper using non-linear Ising model for social science. Can I consider the spin system in hopf-seifert-pattern-1-oriented-boltzman.pdf as a non-linear Ising model?

I understand that you should be very busy. I would sincerely appreciate if you could give me some hint about my issues. Thanks in advance for your time.

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
