Title: Relationship between Hamiltonian and one-spin transfer-matrix descriptions of Ising systems

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)

A close correspondence is demonstrated between the quanatum Hamiltonian for an Ising model in d space dimensions and continuous time with the one-spin transfer matrix for a (d+1)-dimensional Ising model. The analysis is done analytically, showing the relation in detail of the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the two problems.
