A spectrum-generating algebra is constructed and used to find all the physical states of the W3 string with standard ghost number. These states are shown to have positive norm and their partition function is found to involve the Ising model characters corresponding to the weights 0 and 1/16. The theory is found to be modular invariant if, in addition, one includes states that correspond to the Ising character of weight 1/2. It is shown that these additional states are indeed contained in the cohomology of Q.

We consider the anisotropic Ising model on the triangular lattice with finite boundaries, and use Kaufman’s spinor method to calculate low-temperature series expansions for the partition function to high order. From these, we can obtain 108-term series expansions for the bulk, surface and corner free energies. We extrapolate these to all terms and thereby conjecture the exact results for each. Our results agree with the exactly known bulk-free energy and with Cardy and Peschel’s conformal invariance predictions for the dominant behaviour at criticality. For the isotropic case, they also agree with Vernier and Jacobsen’s conjecture for the 60 ° corners.

A new method is proposed for the calculation of the exact partition function for Ising-like systems, based on finite-lattice arguments. In a way, the method is originated with the finite scaling theories presented by Bhanot [J. Stat. Phys. 60, 55 (1990)] and earlier by Binder [Physica 62, 508 (1972)]. The method is tested on a 2D Ising model with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbors interactions. An asset of the method is the low computer power demand.
