It is shown that the spin [Formula: see text] Ising model can be formulated as a spinless fermion many-body problem and that the Green's function technique can be applied to it. The hierarchy of Green's function equations of motion terminates at the (q + 1)-particle Green's function, where q is the coordination number. This finite number of equations yields Fisher's transformation of correlations. The technique discussed in this paper can be used to obtain exact results for the one-dimensional Ising model.

A theorem is derived which enables one to bypass quadrature in the calculation of moments of a resonance line obtained from any decoupling of the Green's function hierarchy of equations. These moments are those of the resonance line as expressed in terms of delta-function peaks prior to smearing. A comparison with exact theoretical moments then provides a test of the decoupling procedure as distinct from the smearing technique. The method is illustrated by application to the one-dimensional Ising model.

A first-order differential equation of Green's function, at the origin G(0), for the one-dimensional lattice is derived by simple recurrence relation. Green's function at site (m) is then calculated in terms of G(0). A simple recurrence relation connecting the lattice Green's function at the site (m, n) and the first derivative of the lattice Green's function at the site (m ± 1, n) is presented for the two-dimensional lattice, a differential equation of second order in G(0, 0) is obtained. By making use of the latter recurrence relation, lattice Green's function at an arbitrary site is obtained in closed form. Finally, the phase shift and scattering cross-section are evaluated analytically and numerically for one- and two-impurities.

It is shown that the partition function of the generalized dimer problem can be formulated in terms of a vacuum-to-vacuum expectation value of time-ordered operators. This expression is then evaluated by using Green's function technique, which has already been used in conjunction with the Ising model and ferroelectric problem.

For the one-dimensional potential well with finite height V0( V0 > 0 or V0 < 0) the exact Green's function G is calculated by solving the differential equation. The poles of G in the complex energy plane are shown to coincide with the solutions to the Schrödinger eigenvalue equation for this potential. The well-known Green's functions for the special cases of the free particle and of the particle in an infinitely high potential box are recovered.
