Partial solvability from dualities: Applications to Ising models in general dimensions and universal geometrical relations

ORAL

Abstract

We illustrate that dualities or general series expansion parameter considerations lead to an extensive set of linear constraints that {\it partially solve} or, equivalently, {\it localize the computational complexity} associated with numerous systems. As an illustration, we examine both ferromagnetic and spin-glass type Ising models on hypercubic lattices in $D \ge 3$ dimensions and show that, by virtue of dualities alone, the partition functions of these systems can be determined by explicitly computing only $\sim 1/4$ of all coefficients of their high and low temperature series . For the self-dual two-dimensional Ising model, the fraction of requisite coefficients is further halved; all remaining series coefficients are determined by trivial linear combinations of this subset. These relations lead to a large set of non-trivial geometric equalities that hold in all dimensions.
