Field-induced Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition and string-density plateau in the anisotropic triangular antiferromagnetic Ising model.
The field-induced Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition in the ground state of the triangular antiferromagnetic Ising model is studied by the level-spectroscopy method. We analyze dimensions of operators around the BKT line, and estimate the BKT point H(c) approximately equal to 0.5229 +/-0.001, which is followed by the level-consistency check to demonstrate the accuracy of our estimate. Further we investigate the anisotropic case to clarify the stability of the field-induced string-density plateau against an incommensurate liquid state by the density-matrix renormalization-group method.
