We obtain exact results at all temperatures for the two-point function of surface spins near the corner of a two-dimensional rectangular Ising ferromagnet; at the critical point, the functional form predicted by conformal theory is recovered. We are also able to calculate exactly a large class of correlation functions involving spins off the surface, and to interpret the results geometrically. [S0031-9007(96)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
