 Partition function as a network scalar: no free outer-line.
 RJ. Baxter: vertex model, 1982.
 All classical statistical models with only local interactions can be effectively
written as a tensor-network model.
• Ising model on square lattice: already a tensor network:
Periodic boundary condition is assumed.

Central idea:
Note:





Do forward iteration (e.g., HOTRG) to construct tensor work at different
RG scales.
Find the relation between the environment of two neighboring scales.
Using the relation to do backward iteration to get the environment of the
targeted system (which need to be renormalized).
Use the environment to do global optimization of the system.

Note: Wavefunction itself does not provide any intuition about the entanglement
structure between its constituents, the only constrain comes from the area law:
It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice!
Only a cat that can catch rats is a good cat!
Projected Entangled Pair State construction on square lattice
F. Verstraete, J. I. Cirac, arXiv: 0407066

Reinterpret by the concept of space Projector and local Entangled Pair

Some critical properties:
Satisfies the area law
Formally has no sign problem
Local pair entanglement.
Can have power-law decay correlation function
Ground state of any local Hamiltonian and PEPS, as long as a very large D.
‘Can be represent’ does not mean equal, might does not mean effective!

Choose a wavefunction ansatz/form of the targeted state.
Determine the unknown parameters in the wavefunction form.
 1. global variational extremum problem
find a PEPS
which minimize the energy : Ax = E*Bx
 2. imaginary time evolution
In practice the central problem is reduced to how to update/renormalize the
wavefunction after a small evolution step
(1). Global variational extremum problem
find a PEPS
which minimize the difference: Ax=Y
(2). Reduced to a standard local SVD/HOSVD problem by mean field
entanglement approximation: bond vector projection/simple update
(3). Regard the surrounding cluster as the whole environment.
