Onsager: exact solution of the two-dimensional Ising model

Computed the zero-field partition function of the two-dimensional Ising model and established an order-disorder transition with a divergent specific heat in the stated lattice model.

What is recorded here?

Computed the zero-field partition function of the two-dimensional Ising model and established an order-disorder transition with a divergent specific heat in the stated lattice model.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The record is Onsager's sole-author 1944 Physical Review paper. It is restricted to the model and zero-field setting treated there and does not absorb Kaufman's spinor analysis, later magnetization results or other lattice models.
