Abstract

For the ferromagnetic Ising model the low-temperature series expansion with temperature grouping polynomials is studied. We show that certain roots of these polynomials converge to the critical field Hc, and in favorable cases we can determine the critical field quite accurately. Knowing the critical field Hc, one can determine the asymptotic behavior of the temperature grouping polynomials numerically. The essential feature is a power-law behavior. Hence, the low-temperature critical indices α, β, and γ can be determined. The values are in general agreement with those found by Padé analysis. A critique of the accuracy of the method and its possibilities is given.
