Phase transition of the Ising model is investigated on a planar lattice that has a fractal structure. On the lattice, the number of bonds that cross the border of a finite area is doubled when the linear size of the area is extended by a…

A new family of exactly solvable models is introduced. These models are generalizations of the XXZ chain where the distance among spins up ($\sigma^z$-basis) cannot be smaller or equal to t (t=0,1,2,...). The case t=0 recovers the standard…
