Finite-size effects for the Ising model on helical tori.
We analyze the exact partition function of the Ising model on a square lattice under helical boundary conditions obtained by Liaw [Phys. Rev. E 73, 055101(R) (2006)]. Based on such an expression, we then extend the algorithm of Ivashkevich, Izmailian, and Hu [J. Phys. A 35, 5543 (2002)] to derive an exact asymptotic expansion of the logarithm of the partition function and its first to fourth derivatives at the critical point. From such results, we find that the shift exponent for the specific heat is lambda=1 for all values of the helicity factor d . We also find that finite-size corrections for the free energy, the internal energy, and the specific heat of the model in a crucial way depend on the helicity factor of the lattice.
