Abstract:

Using the combinatorial method for the 2D Ising model originating in the works of Sherman, Burgoyne and others we derive formulas for the correlation functions in terms of signed loops and paths. In the case of regular lattices we also identify the critical temperature for the phase transition in the long range behavior of these functions. Joint work with Wouter Kager and Ronald Meester.
