The Ising Model, introduced by the physicist Wilhelm Lenz (1920), is one of the most well-known models of Statistical Mechanics, used to explain the behavior of ferromagnets, but later found to have connections with many other models. Example of topics in the area include existence of phase transitions, asymptotic behavior of correlation functions, critical exponents, graphical representations, and properties of the pressure/free-energy function.

Ising entropy of a finite L_1 x L_2 lattice

We know the entropy per site of the 2-d Ising model from Onsager's solution. Has anybody also calculated the entropy for a finite rectangle of size L_1 x L_2 with periodic boundary conditions (i.e. on …
