Abstract

The construction of the sign factor ensuring the cancellation of self-intersecting two-dimensional surfaces in the partition function of the three-dimensional Ising model is reviewed. It is shown that the three-dimensional Ising model is exactly equivalent to a model of surfaces with fermionic structure on them. In the naive continuum limit the action of the resulting string theory is defined by the Dirac action induced on a two-dimensional surface.
