Critical behaviour of the dilute Ashkin-Teller-Potts model

Abstract
A real-space rescaling technique (decimation) is used to study the critical properties of the bond-dilute, S state Ashkin-Teller-Potts model on the square lattice. Fixed points and critical exponents are obtained and critical curves plotted for values of S from 1 to 4. For S=1, 2 the dilute model exhibits the same critical behaviour as the pure system. However, for S=3, 4, there is crossover to a new dilute fixed point. The transition remains second order but exhibits new values of the critical exponents. This behaviour is in accord with the Harris criterion (1974).
