Abstract

According to the Lieb-Sokal theorem, the partition function, ZZ, of a ferromagnetic spin model has the Lee-Yang property if the single-spin partition function has it. In this note, it is shown that for some spin models a ferromagnetic interaction can induce the Lee-Yang property of ZZ even if the single-spin partition function fails to have it. In particular, this holds for the Blume-Capel model and for the annealed states of the s=±1s=\pm 1 site dilute Ising model with a neares-neighbor interaction on \mathdsZd\mathds{Z}^d, as well as with interactions defined by a hierarchical structure similar to that of Dyson's hierarchical model.
