Phase diagram of the Z(4) ferromagnet in an anisotropic square lattice

Within a real space renormalisation group (RG) scheme, the authors study the criticality of the ferromagnetic Z(4) model on an anisotropic square lattice. They use an RG cluster which has already proved to be very efficient for the Potts model on the same lattice. The establishment of the RG recurrence relations is greatly simplified through the break-collapse method. The phase diagram (exhibiting ferromagnetic, paramagnetic and nematic-like phases) recovers all the available exact results, and is believed to be of high precision everywhere. If the model is alternatively thought of as being associated with a particular hierarchical lattice rather than with the square lattice, then it is exact everywhere.
