Linked-Cluster Expansion of the Ising Model

Abstract

The linked-cluster expansion technique for the high-temperature expansion of spin model is reviewed. A new algorithm for the computation of three-point and higher Green's functions is presented. Series are computed for all components of two-point Green's functions for a generalized 3D Ising model, to 25th order on the bcc lattice and to 23rd order on the sc lattice. Series for zero-momentum four-, six-, and eight-point functions are computed to 21st, 19th, and 17th order respectively on the bcc lattice.
