The use is made of the notion of the integral over the anticommuting Grassmann variables. For simple and more complicated 2D Ising lattices, the partition function can be expressed as a fermionic Gaussian integral. Equivalently, the 2D Ising model can be reformulated as a free-fermion theory on a lattice. For regular lattices, the analytic solution then readily follows by passing to the momentum space for fermions. We also comment on the effective field-theoretical (continuum-limit) fermionic formulations for the 2D Ising models near the critical point.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-12-31T11:32:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "two-dimensional ising model", "analytic solution", "fermionic integrals", "2d ising model", "fermionic gaussian integral" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
