Abstract:
A detailed investigation of the scaling properties of the fully finite O(n) systems, under periodic boundary conditions, with long-range interaction, decaying algebraically with the interparticle distance r like r(-d-sigma), below their upper critical dimension, is presented. The computation of the scaling functions is done to one loop order in the nonzero modes. The results are obtained in an expansion of powers of sqrt[epsilon], where epsilon=2sigma-d up to O(epsilon(3/2)). The thermodynamic functions are found to depend upon the scaling variable z=RU(-1/2)L(2-eta-epsilon/2), where R and U are the coupling constants of the constructed effective theory, and L is the linear size of the system. Some simple universal results are obtained.

Stability of Equilibrium Configuration
A stable equilibrium occurs when a system tends to return to its original position when given a small displacement, and the potential energy is at its minimum. An example of a stable equilibrium is when a cantilever beam is fixed at one end and a weight is attached to the other end. If the weight...
