The integral representations for the partition functions of Ising models are surveyed. The connection with the underlying fermion field in the two-dimensional case is discussed. The relation between the low and the high-temperature expansions is examined.

We have calculated the high-temperature series expansion of the zero-field susceptibility of the square-lattice Ising model with first and second neighbour interactions to the 20th order by computer. Our results extend the previous calculation by Hsiao and Lin to two more orders. We use the Padé approximants to estimate the critical exponent γ and the critical temperature. Our result 1.747 < γ < 1.753 supports the universality conjecture that all two-dimensional Ising models have the same critical exponent γ = 1.75.


A number of local three-spin correlations are calculated exactly for various related ferromagnetic two-dimensional solvable models in statistical mechanics.They are the square lattice free-fermion model, the equivalent checkerboard Ising model, and the anisotropic triangular, honeycomb and square lattice Ising models. The different results are all applications of a single unifying formula.

Exactly soluble Z-invariant (or Baxter) models of statistical mechanics are generalised on two-dimensional Penrose lattices based on the de Bruijn construction. A unique soluble model is obtained for each realization of the Penrose lattice. Analysis of these models shows that they are soluble along a line in parameter space which intersects the critical surface at a point that can be determined exactly. In the Ising case, critical exponents along this line are identical with the regular two-dimensional Ising model thus supporting the conventional picture of the universality hypothesis.

In previous papers (1976), (1977a), (1979) limit theorems were obtained for the classical Ising model, and these provided the basis for asymptotic inference. The present paper extends these results to more general Ising models. In two and more dimensions, likelihood inference for the thermodynamic parameters (i.e. the interaction energies) is effectively impossible. The problem is that the error in locating critical and/or confidence regions is as large as their diameters. To remedy this requires more accurate characterizations of the partition functions, but these seem unlikely to be forthcoming. Besag's coding estimators for these parameters are inverse hyperbolic tangents of the roots of simultaneous polynomial equations and hence avoid such location errors. However, little is yet known about their sampling characteristics. Finally, likelihood inference for lattice averages (an alternative parametrization) is straightforward from the limit theorems.

High precision Monte Carlo simulations are used to study domain growth in a compressible two-dimensional spin-exchange Ising model with continuous particle positions and zero total magnetization. For mismatched systems, we measure significant deviations from the theoretically expected late-time domain growth, R(t) = A + Btn with n = 1/3. For a compressible model with no mismatch, we measure only a slight deviation from n = 1/3. Our results indicate that our current understanding of domain growth is incomplete.
