- Description
- A graph theoretic analysis is made of the m-spin correlation functions of the <math>\lambda </math>-state Potts model. In paper I, the correlation functions for m=2 were expressed in terms of rooted mod-<math>\lambda </math> flow polynomials. Here we introduce a more general type of polynomial, the partitioned m-rooted flow polynomial, which plays a fundamental role in the calculation of the multi-spin correlation functions. The m-rooted equivalent transmissivities of Tsallis and Levy are interpreted in terms of percolation theory and are expressed as linear combinations of the above correlation functions.
