Abstract

An alternative exact explicit solution of 1D Ising chain is presented without using any boundary conditions (or free boundary condition) by the help of applying successively block-spin transformation. Exact relation are obtained between spin-spin correlation functions in the absence of external field. To evaluate average magnetization (or the order parameter), it is assumed that the average magnetization can be related to infinitely apart two spin correlation function as <σ>2=<σ0σN><\sigma>^{2}=<\sigma_{0}\sigma_{N}>. A discussion to justify this consideration is given in the introduction with a relevant manner. It is obtained that <σ0σ1>=tanhK<\sigma_{0}\sigma_{1}>=\tanh{K}, which is exactly the same relation as the previously derived relation by considering the configurational space equivalence of {σiσi+1}={si}\{\sigma_{i}\sigma_{i+1}\}=\{s_{i}\} and the result of transfer matrix method in the absence of external field. By applying further block-spin transformation, it is obtained that {σ0σj}=(tanhK)j\{\sigma_{0}\sigma_{j}\}=(\tanh{K})^{j}, here jj assumes the values of j=2nj=2^n, here nn is an integer numbers. We believe that this result is really important in that it is the only exact unique treatment of the 1D Ising chain beside with the transfer matrix method. It is also pointed out the irrelevances of some of the alternative derivation appearing in graduate level text books. The obtained unique correlation relation in this this study leads in the limit of NN\rightarrow\infty to <σi>=(tanhK)N/2<\sigma_{i}>=(\tanh{K})^{N/2}, indicating that the second order phase transition is only possible in the limit of KK\rightarrow\infty. The obtained results in this work are exactly the same as those of obtained by the transfer matrix method which considers periodic boundary condition.
