Homework Statement
Using the Niemeijer Van Leeuwen method calculate the critical temperature and all
the critical exponents of the Ising model in the square lattice, using the NiemeijerVan Leeuwen approximation to first order in cumulants with a 4-site Kadanoff block. In this case the
majority rule must be generalized to include the case of a tie, in which is assigned
equal probability to both block spin orientations.
Relevant Equations
\sum_{s'}P(s',s)=1
Hello, I have to solve this problem. I will apply the Niemeijer Van Leeuwen method once I have the probability distribution
proper to the renormalization group ,P(s,s'). For example, in the case of a triangular lattice, this distribution is:

where I is the block index. However, it is very difficult for me to generalize the majority rule for a Kadannof block with even sites, like square lattice. It occurred to me generalize like this:

but this distribution is not normalized, that is, it does not satisfy:

Is anyone able to construct this probability distribution?
Thank you very much.

Yes, it is possible to construct the probability distribution for a Kadannof block with even sites such as a square lattice. The general form of the probability distribution can be written as:P(s,s')=\frac{1}{I}\sum_{i=1}^{I}\delta_{s_i,s'_i}where I is the number of blocks and $\delta_{s_i,s'_i}$ is the Kronecker delta function which is equal to 1 if $s_i = s'_i$ and 0 otherwise. To normalize this probability distribution, you need to make sure that\sum_{s,s'}P(s,s')=1This can be done by multiplying $P(s,s')$ by a factor of $I$. Thus, the normalized probability distribution for a Kadannof block with even sites such as a square lattice is given by:P(s,s')=I\sum_{i=1}^{I}\delta_{s_i,s'_i}
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
