Abstract

We study the coexistence phase in the two-dimensional Ising model. Optimizing the cluster expansion technique, we are able to prove the phase separation phenomenon, with the Onsager value for the surface tension, in a range\(\beta > \bar \beta\), where\(\bar \beta\) estimates from above the critical β within 19% and essentially coincides with the entropic bound.
