Abstract

We consider an Ising and aq-state Potts model on a diamond hierarchical lattice. We give pictures of the distribution of zeros of the partition function in the complex plane of temperatures for several choices ofq. These zeros are just the Julia set corresponding to the renormalization group transformation.
