Abstract
We consider the Ising model with inverse temperature beta and without external field on sequences of graphs G_n which converge locally to the k-regular tree. We show that for such graphs the Ising measure locally weak converges to the symmetric mixture of the Ising model with + boundary conditions and the - boundary conditions on the k-regular tree with inverse temperature \beta. In the case where the graphs G_n are expanders we derive a more detailed understanding by showing convergence of the Ising measure condition on positive magnetization (sum of spins) to the + measure on the tree.
