Using recently extended data of Sykes et al. on the high field expansion of the free energy of the two-dimensional spin-1/2 Ising model the critical behavior of the magnetization and its first six temperature derivatives are examined on the critical isotherm. The estimates of the critical exponents and the critical amplitude ratios are found to be in reasonable to excellent agreement with scaling theories.

We develop high field expansions for the second moment of the spin–spin correlation function of the two-dimensional Ising model at arbitrary temperature T . Setting T = T c and approaching the critical point along the field direction, this quantity has a 1/ h 2 , divergence as the external field h goes to zero. The amplitude for this divergence is estimated by series extrapolation methods, and is shown to lead to an estimate for the central charge of 0.50 by using Cardy’s formula for the central charge in terms of hyperuniversal amplitude ratios.

It is shown that the free energy and the magnetization of an Ising model in the magnetic field H = iπkT/2 can be obtained directly from corresponding expressions of these quantities in zero field, provided that the latter are known for sufficiently anisotropic interactions. Using this approach we derive explicit expressions of the free energy and the magnetization at H = iπkT/2 for a number of two-dimensional lattices.

The dynamic critical behavior of the two-replica cluster algorithm is studied. Several versions of the algorithm are applied to the two-dimensional, square lattice Ising model with a staggered field. The dynamic exponent for the full algorithm is found to be less than 0.4. It is found that odd translations of one replica with respect to the other together with global flips are essential for obtaining a small value of the dynamic exponent.
