Abstract

We show that the nearest neighbor Ising model on the Cayley tree exhibits new temperature–driven phase transitions. These transitions occur at various inverse temperatures different from the critical one. They are characterised by a change in the number of Gibbs states as well as by a drastic change of the behavior of free energies at these new transition points.

We also consider the model in the presence of an external field and compute the free energies of translation invariant and some alternating boundary conditions.
