The energy levels of a magnetic lattice are encoded in the boundaries between opposite spins

Researchers at Gewu turn the zero-field energy spectrum of a finite Ising model into a counting problem on its connectivity graph, and prove that a class of periodic square lattices has exactly one fewer energy level than lattice sites.

Exact finite-size statistical mechanics of uniform Ising lattices

Exact level structure of finite uniform Ising lattices: the density of states is a cut-size spectrum

The paper proves that unsatisfied Ising bonds are edge cuts of the down-spin set, turning the full finite-lattice level spectrum into a graph cut-size spectrum. It derives parity, edge-connectivity and bipartite-symmetry laws, level-count formulas, exact algorithms and exhaustive checks, while retaining the stated asymptotic and hardness limitations.
