Transformations of mixed spin-class Ising systems

Statistical Mechanics 2020-06-25 v1

Abstract

In the many fields in which the Ising model is applied nowadays, the spin variables are often assumed to be of spin-class {1,1}\{-1,1\} or {0,1}\{0,1\}, even though for any mix of binary real valued spin-classes a proper Ising model distribution exists. Here we show that in their basis all these spin-classes are the same, as a simple expressions exist that allow us to transform the variables from one particular mix of spin-classes to any other combination, without changing the probabilities for the system states as a whole.
