We report new results on complex-temperature properties of Ising models. These include studies of the $s=1/2$ model on triangular, honeycomb, kagom\'e, $3 \cdot 12^2$, and $4 \cdot 8^2$ lattices. We elucidate the complex--$T$ phase diagrams…

The Ising model at inverse temperature $\beta$ and zero external field can be obtained via the Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) random-cluster model with $q=2$ and density of open edges $p=1-e^{-\beta}$ by assigning spin +1 or -1 to each vertex in…

The origin of self-organized criticality in a model without conservation law (Olami, Feder, and Christensen, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 68}, 1244 (1992)) is studied. The homogeneous system with periodic boundary condition is found to be periodic…
