Journal of Statistical Physics, Vol. 88, Nos. 5/6, 1997 Application of Bond-Moving Renormalization-Group Approach to Fractal Lattices Z. R. Yang 1,2 and Li Song 1 Received April 12, 1996;final October 21, 1996 We investigate the application of the Migdal-Kadanoff bond-moving renormal- ization group (RG) approach to fractal lattices. We find the following two results: first, for inhomogeneous interaction lattice models, bond moving involving inequivalent bonds is unsuitable because it violates the condition A) = 0 (A is the perturbation potential resulting from moving the bonds); second, the condi- tion A ) = 0 does not uniquely determine the way to move bonds; different choices of bond moving yield different RG recursion relations and corresponding fixed points, which makes the conclusions concerning the phase transition quite uncertain. KEY WORDS: Bond-moving renormalization group; phase transition; Ising model. 1. I N T R O D U C T I O N The bond-moving renormalization group (RG) approach proposed by Migdal and Kadanoff is a significant real-space RG approach. (12) It is a lower bound approximation based on a variational principle which makes the sum of the partition function calculable and optimizes the result. It has been extensively applied to equilibrium systems on translational symmetry lattices, and in the past 10 years it has also been applied to fractal lattices with self-similar symmetry. Kadanoff (2) has analyzed the limitations and weaknesses
