title: Fixed-point properties of the Ising ferromagnet on the Hanoi networks.
abstract: The Ising model with ferromagnetic couplings on the Hanoi networks is analyzed with an exact renormalization group. In particular, the fixed points are determined and the renormalization- flow for certain initial conditions is analyzed. Hanoi networks combine a one-dimensional lattice structure with a hierarchy of long-range bonds to create a mix of geometric and small-world properties. Generically, those small-world bonds result in nonuniversal behavior, i.e., fixed points and scaling exponents that depend on temperature and the initial choice of coupling strengths. It is shown that a diversity of different behaviors can be observed with seemingly small changes in the structure of the networks. Defining interpolating families of such networks, we find tunable transitions between regimes with power-law and certain essential singularities in the critical scaling of the correlation length. These are similar to the so-called inverted Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition previously observed only in scale-free or dense networks.
