In our previous works on infinite horizontal Ising strips of width $m$ alternating with layers of strings of Ising chains of length $n$, we found the surprising result that the specific heats are not much different for different values of $N$, the separation of the strings. For this reason, we study here for $N=1$ the spin-spin correlation in the central row of each strip, and also the central row of a strings layer. We show that these can be written as a Toeplitz determinants. Their generating functions are ratios of two polynomials, which in the limit of infinite vertical size become square roots of polynomials whose degrees are $m+1$ where $m$ is the size of the strips. We find the asymptotic behaviors near the critical temperature to be two-dimensional Ising-like. But in regions not very close to criticality the behavior may be different for different $m$ and $n$. Finally, in the appendix we shall present results for generating functions in more general models.

Parisis formal replica-symmetry--breaking (RSB) scheme for mean-field spin glasses has long been interpreted in terms of many pure states organized ultrametrically. However, the early version of this interpretation, as applied to the short-range Edwards-Anderson model, runs into problems because as shown by Newman and Stein (NS) it does not allow for chaotic size dependence, and predicts non-self-averaging that cannot occur. NS proposed the concept of the metastate (a probability distribution over infinite-size Gibbs states in a given sample that captures the effects of chaotic size dependence) and a non-standard interpretation of the RSB results in which the metastate is non-trivial and is responsible for what was called non-self-averaging. Here we use the effective field theory of RSB, in conjunction with the rigorous definitions of pure states and the metastate in infinite-size systems, to show that the non-standard picture follows directly from the RSB mean-field theory. In addition, the metastate-averaged state possesses power-law correlations throughout the low temperature phase; the corresponding exponent $zeta$ takes the value $4$ according to the field theory in high dimensions $d$, and describes the effective fractal dimension of clusters of spins. Further, the logarithm of the number of pure states in the decomposition of the metastate-averaged state that can be distinguished if only correlations in a window of size $W$ can be observed is of order $W^{d-zeta}$. These results extend the non-standard picture quantitatively; we show that arguments against this scenario are inconclusive.
In order to investigate the effects of connectivity and proximity in the specific heat, a special class of exactly solvable planar layered Ising models has been studied in the thermodynamic limit. The Ising models consist of repeated uniform horizontal strips of width $m$ connected by sequences of vertical strings of length $n$ mutually separated by distance $N$, with $N=1,2$ and $3$. We find that the critical temperature $T_c(N,m,n)$, arising from the collective effects, decreases as $n$ and $N$ increase, and increases as $m$ increases, as it should be. The amplitude $A(N,m,n)$ of the logarithmic divergence at the bulk critical temperature $T_c(N,m,n)$ becomes smaller as $n$ and $m$ increase. A rounded peak, with size of order $ln m$ and signifying the one-dimensional behavior of strips of finite width $m$, appears when $n$ is large enough. The appearance of these rounded peaks does not depend on $m$ as much, but depends rather more on $N$ and $n$, which is rather perplexing. Moreover, for fixed $m$ and $n$, the specific heats are not much different for different $N$. This is a most surprising result. For $N=1$, the spin-spin correlation in the center row of each strip can be written as a Toeplitz determinant with a generating function which is much more complicated than in Onsagers Ising model. The spontaneous magnetization in that row can be calculated numerically and the spin-spin correlation is shown to have two-dimensional Ising behavior.
The spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model on diamond-like decorated Bethe lattices is exactly solved with the help of decoration-iteration transformation and exact recursion relations. It is shown that the model under investigation exhibits reentrant phase transitions whenever a sufficiently high coordination number of the underlying Bethe lattice is considered.
We study the thermodynamics and critical behavior of su($m|n$) supersymmetric spin chains of Haldane-Shastry type with a chemical potential term. We obtain a closed-form expression for the partition function and deduce a description of the spectrum in terms of the supersymmetric version of Haldanes motifs, which we apply to obtain an analytic expression for the free energy per site in the thermodynamic limit. By studying the low-temperature behavior of the free energy, we characterize the critical behavior of the chains with $1le m,nle2$, determining the critical regions and the corresponding central charge. We also show that in the su($2|1$), su($1|2$) and su($2|2$) chains the bosonic or fermionic densities can undergo first-order (discontinuous) phase transitions at $T=0$, in contrast with the previously studied su(2) case.
It is noted that the pair correlation matrix $hat{chi}$ of the nearest neighbor Ising model on periodic three-dimensional ($d=3$) kagome-like lattices of corner-sharing triangles can be calculated partially exactly. Specifically, a macroscopic number $1/3 , N+1$ out of $N$ eigenvalues of $hat{chi}$ are degenerate at all temperatures $T$, and correspond to an eigenspace $mathbb{L}_{-}$ of $hat{chi}$, independent of $T$. Degeneracy of the eigenvalues, and $mathbb{L}_{-}$ are an exact result for a complex $d=3$ statistical physical model. It is further noted that the eigenvalue degeneracy describing the same $mathbb{L}_{-}$ is exact at all $T$ in an infinite spin dimensionality $m$ limit of the isotropic $m$-vector approximation to the Ising models. A peculiar match of the opposite $m=1$ and $mrightarrow infty$ limits can be interpreted that the $mrightarrowinfty$ considerations are exact for $m=1$. It is not clear whether the match is coincidental. It is then speculated that the exact eigenvalues degeneracy in $mathbb{L}_{-}$ in the opposite limits of $m$ can imply their quasi-degeneracy for intermediate $1 leqslant m < infty$. For an anti-ferromagnetic nearest neighbor coupling, that renders kagome-like models highly geometrically frustrated, these are spin states largely from $mathbb{L}_{-}$ that for $mgeqslant 2$ contribute to $hat{chi}$ at low $T$. The $mrightarrowinfty$ formulae can be thus quantitatively correct in description of $hat{chi}$ and clarifying the role of perturbations in kagome-like systems deep in the collective paramagnetic regime. An exception may be an interval of $T$, where the order-by-disorder mechanisms select sub-manifolds of $mathbb{L}_{-}$.
