Investigating the nonequilibrium aspects of long-range Potts model: refinement of critical temperatures and raw exponents

In this work, we analyse the \(q-\)state Potts model with long-range interactions through nonequilibrium scaling relations commonly used when studying short-range systems. We determine the critical temperature via an optimization method for short-time Monte Carlo simulations. The study takes into consideration two different boundary conditions and three different values of range parameters of the couplings. We also present estimates of some critical exponents, named as raw exponents for systems with long-range interactions, which confirm the non-universal character of the model. Finally, we provide some preliminary results addressing the relations between the raw exponents and the exponents obtained for systems with short-range interactions. The results assert that the methods employed in this work are suitable to study the considered model and can easily be adapted to other systems with long-range interactions.
