Let M be a compact, connected Riemannian manifold (with or without boundary); we study the logarithmic Sobolev constant for stochastic Ising models on M{sup Zd}. Let ({Lambda}) be a sequence of cubes in Z{sup d}, we show that the logarithmic Sobolev constant for the finite systems on M{sup {Lambda}} shrinks at most exponentially fast in {vert_bar}{Lambda}{vert_bar}{sup (d-1)/d} (d{ge}2), which is sharp in order for the classical Ising models with M = [-1, 1]. Moreover, a geometrical lemma proved by L.E. Thomas is also improved.
