| Zusammenfassung: | We study the behaviour of the Binder cumulant on finite square lattices at the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition. We determine the fixed-point value of the Binder cumulant and the coefficient of the leading logarithmic correction. These calculations are supplemented with Monte Carlo simulations of the classical XY (plane rotator) model, the Villain model and the dual of the absolute value solid-on-solid model. Using the single-cluster algorithm, we simulate lattices up to L = 4096. For the lattice sizes reached, subleading corrections are needed to fit the data for the Binder cumulant. We demonstrate that the combined analysis of the Binder cumulant and the second moment correlation length over the lattice size allows for an accurate determination of the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature on relatively small lattices. We test the new method on the example of the two-component ϕ4 model on the lattice. |
