The scaling limit and Osterwalder-Schrader axioms for the two-dimensional Ising model

Abstract

From a Feynman-Kac formula in a Fermion Fock space for the Schwinger functions of the infinite lattice periodic two-dimensional Ising model, scaled and scaling limit Schwinger functions are defined and shown to admit an absolutely convergent series representation. As the critical temperature is attained, it is shown that the scaled Schwinger functions converge and that the resulting scaling limit Schwinger functions obey the Osterwalder-Schrader axioms.
