Renormalization Group:NiemeijerVan Leeuwen Method-Ising Square Lattice

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on applying the Niemeijer Van Leeuwen method to derive the probability distribution for a renormalization group in a square lattice. The original poster struggles with generalizing the majority rule for a Kadannof block with even sites. A solution is proposed, indicating that the probability distribution can be expressed using the Kronecker delta function. To ensure normalization, the distribution must be adjusted by multiplying by a factor of the number of blocks. The normalized probability distribution is confirmed to be viable for the square lattice scenario.

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 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
