Simplifying Kaufman's Solution of the Two-Dimensional Ising Model

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We considerably simplify Kaufman's solution of the two-dimensional Ising model by introducing two commuting representations of the complex rotation group SO(2n,C). All eigenvalues of the transfer matrix and therefore the partition function are found in a straightforward way.
