Abstract:This is a Response to a recent Comment [F.Y. Wu et al., Phil. Mag. 88, 3093 (2008), also arXiv:0811.3876] on the conjectured solution of the three-dimensional (3D) Ising model [Z.D. Zhang, Phil. Mag. 87, 5309 (2007)]. Several points are made: 1) Conjecture 1, regarding the additional rotation, is understood as performing a transformation for smoothing all the crossings of the knots; 2) The weight factors in Conjecture 2 are interpreted as a novel topologic phase; 3) The conjectured solution and its low-and hig… Show more
“…There have been several rounds of comments/responses between some statistical physicists and Zhang [30][31][32]39,40,46,47]. We do not want to repeat Zhang's responses published already [45][46][47][48][49][50]. Just mention briefly: The error for the Jordan-Wigner transform in Zhang's original paper [44] is not a problem, which has been corrected in ref.…”
