Ising model susceptibility amplitudes. I. Two-dimensional lattices

Abstract

By combining all available information it is possible to extend the numerical knowledge of the high- and low-temperature zero-field isothermal susceptibility of the Ising model. Estimates of the third most singular term of the ferromagnetic singularity are obtained, using both direct estimates and an extension of the Generalized Law of Corresponding States. A recent conjecture of Barouch, McCoy and Wu (1973) concerning the equality of the constant term in the asymptotic expansion of the high- and low-temperature ferromagnetic susceptibility is confirmed numerically. Finally, a non-physical critical exponent of the low-temperature susceptibility of the triangular lattice is identified.
