An edge-bicolored graph approach to the Ising model on random regular graphs
Abstract
We give an exact solution of the ferromagnetic Ising model on a random regular graph ensemble via analytic combinatorics. Expressing the partition function as the generating function of labeled edge-bicolored graphs, we obtain the free energy in the thermodynamic limit from the asymptotic enumeration of these graphs. A simple analysis of the resulting formula reveals a second-order phase transition with critical exponents of the mean-field universality class.
