Abstract

We find the exact critical temperature TcT_c of the nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic Ising model on an `equilibrium' random graph with an arbitrary degree distribution P(k)P(k). We observe an anomalous behavior of the magnetization, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat, when P(k)P(k) is fat-tailed, or, loosely speaking, when the fourth moment of the distribution diverges in infinite networks. When the second moment becomes divergent, TcT_c approaches infinity, the phase transition is of infinite order, and size effect is anomalously strong.
