Self-similar potentials and Ising models
Loutsenko I., Spiridonov V.
A new link between soliton solutions of integrable nonlinear equations and one-dimensional Ising models is established. Translational invariance of the spin lattice associated with the KdV equation is related to self-similar potentials of the Schrodinger equation. This gives antiferromagnets with exponentially decaying interaction between the spins. Partition function is calculated exactly for a homogeneous magnetic field and two discrete values of the temperature. PACS: 03.65.-w, 05.50.+q
