Analytic properties of Potts and Ising model partition functions and the relationship between analytic properties and phase transitions in equilibrium statistical mechanics
The Ising and $Q$-state Potts models are statistical mechanical models of spins interaction on crystal lattices. We study the partition functions on a range of lattices, particularly two- and three-dimensional cases. The study aims to investigate cooperative phenomena $-$ how higher level structure...
