Abstract
An approximate real-space renormalisation group method, based on the Migdal-Kadanoff recursion relations, is used to study
the critical properties of the pure and diluted
q-state antiferromagnetic Potts model on Sierpinski carpets. Fixed points and phase diagrams are calculated for both large
and small lacunarity carpets family. The pure model has phase transitions at finite temperatures and critical behaviour is
observed for
q less than a cutoff value
q0. We determine the value of
q0, the percolation concentration
for the diluted model, and the critical exponents, and we investigate their dependence on various geometrical characteristics
of the fractal.
