Abstract
Exact analytical and numerical results for the site-diluted antiferromagnetic Ising model on the triangular lattice (AFIT) are presented. For infinitesimal dilution the change in the free energy of the system is related to the distribution of local fields, and it is shown that for a frustrated system such as the AFIT, dilution lowers the entropy per spin. For lattices of finite size and dilution the transfer matrix for the partition function is evaluated numerically. The entropy per spin shows a marked minimum near a concentration of spins x=0.70, in some disagreement with earlier transfer-matrix results.
