A regularization of the high density expansion for spin systems is proposed. This regularization is used to remove imaginary parts of observableswhich appear near critical points. This regularization was applied to a first approximation for the simple Ising model.
One of the most successful tools to investigate thermodynamic properties of spin models is the high density expansion method ( H D E M ) [1-12]. As a starting point to H D E M in the theory of magnetism we choose the following decomposition of the hamiltonian:
H = ( H - H1) + Ht f Ho + H 1,
(1)
where the perturbative part H 1 is defined by the transformation H ~ H 1 = H ( S z --) 8S~),
(2)
where
*S~=S~-(SZ),
(S')=Tr{S~exp[fl(F-H)]},
f l = ( k a T ) -a,
and S ~ is the operator of the z-component of the spin. In the theory of magnetism H D E M is based on the classification of Feymnan diagrams with respect to powers of the parameter l / z , where z is the effective number of spins interacting with any given spin [13]. The approach is valid only when z >> 1 and when H 1 is small. In general, for the average value ( A ) of any observable A of the spin system given, the high density expansion in the thermodynamic limit can be expressed as follows:
