Migdal-Kadanoff approximation to the diluted negative-weight percolation problem — •Oliver Melchert1, Stefan Boettcher2, and Alexander K. Hartmann11Institut für Physik, Carl-von-Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, Oldenburg (Germany) — 2Department of Physics, Emory University, Atlanta (USA)

We consider the diluted negative weight percolation (NWP) problem [1] on lattice graphs, wherein edge weights are drawn from disorder distributions that allow for weights of either sign. We are interested whether there are system-spanning paths or loops of total negative weight. So as to study the model on hypercubic lattice graphs numerically, one has to perform a non-trivial transformation of the original graph and apply sophisticated matching algorithms.

Here, we consider the NWP model on hierarchical lattice graphs, where a Migdal-Kadanoff (MK) approximation can be used to gain insight on the topology of the phase diagram. For a very basic disorder distribution we set up a renormalization group (RG) transformation and study the RG flow in the disorder-dilution plane in order to find fixed points and critical indices for the linearized model. We further implement the “pool” method [2] to yield the phase diagram and critical exponents upon decimation of huge graphs and we compare our findings to previous results from finite-size scaling analyses [1,3].
