Onsager's 2D Ising phase transition

ising_2d_phase_transition

Submitter: Kim Morrison.

Notes: The thermodynamic-limit free energy of the zero-field ferromagnetic square-lattice Ising model exists for every inverse temperature and is non-analytic at a positive critical βc (Onsager 1944). Trusted helpers (isingEnergy, isingPartitionFunction, finiteIsingFreeEnergy, …) are non-holes; the ∀β limit clause pins F to the genuine infinite-volume free energy so βc must be a real non-analyticity point. Mathlib has no statistical-mechanics machinery. Candidate from §158 of the Knill survey.
