Jul 22 at 19:42 | comment | added | eddy ardonne | It is rather unfortunate that a model as important as the Ising model is named after Ising. He solved the 1d case, which does not have a finite temperature phase transition. He didn't make much progress on the 2d case, but posed that presumably, the model in 2d wouldn't have a finite temperature phase transition either.... | |
