Abstract

In a recent paper published in Philosophical Magazine [Z.-D. Zhang, Phil. Mag. 87 (2007) p.5309], the author advances a conjectured solution for various properties of the three-dimensional Ising model. Here, we disprove the conjecture and point out the flaws in the arguments leading to the conjectured expressions.

Response to “Comment on a recent conjectured solution of the three–dimensional Ising model” by Wu et al

Zhang Zhi-dong

This is a Response to a recent Comment [F.Y. Wu et al., Phil. Mag. 88, 3093 (2008), also arXiv:0811.3876] on the conjectured solution of the three-dimensional (3D) Ising model [Z.D. Zhang, Phil. Mag. 87, 5309 (2007)]. Several points are made: 1) Conjecture 1, regarding the additional rotation, is understood as performing a transformation for smoothing all the crossings of the knots; 2) The weight factors in Conjecture 2 are interpreted as a novel topologic phase; 3) The conjectured solution and its lowand high-temperature expansions are supported by the mathematical theorems for the analytical behavior of the Ising model. The physics behind the extra dimension is also discussed briefly.

Jacques H. H. Perk

It is shown that the arguments in the reply of Z.-D. Zhang defending his conjectures are invalid. His conjectures have been thoroughly disproved.

Comment on ‘Conjectures on exact solution of three-dimensional (3D) simple orthorhombic Ising lattices’

Jacques H. H. Perk

It is argued that a recent article by Z.-D. Zhang is in error and violates well-known theorems.
