Theq-state Potts model on the square lattice is studied by Monte Carlo simulation forq=3, 4, 5, 6. Very good agreement is obtained with exact results of Kiharaet al.and Baxter for energy and free energy at the critical point. Critical exponent estimates forq=3 areα≈0.4,β≈0.1,γ≈1.45, in rough agreement with high-temperature series extrapolation and real space renormalization-group methods. The transition forq=5, 6 is found to be a very weakly first-order transition, i.e., pronounced “pseudocritical” phenomena occur, specific heat, susceptibility, etc. (nearly) diverge at the first-order transition temperature. Dynamics is associated to the model in the same way as for the kinetic Ising model, and the nonlinear slowing down of the order parameter and of the energy is studied. The dynamic exponent is estimated to be Δ (=zv)≈1.9. Within our accuracy noqdependence is detected. The relaxation is found to be consistent with dynamic scaling predictions, and dynamic scaling functions associated with the nonlinear relaxation are estimated.
