Looking at the Ising Model:
I found the two self-consistent equations for <math>m_A</math> and <math>m_B</math> to be:


<math>H = -\frac{J}{2}\sum_{<i,j>}S_iS_j - h\sum_{}S_i</math>
<math>m_A = tanh(-\beta(h + \frac{1}{2}Jzm_B))</math>


Then going to the formula for <math>h_i</math>. Does the subscript i have anything to do with the index of summation i or does it stand for internal?
<math>m_B = tanh(-\beta(h + \frac{1}{2}Jzm_A))</math>


'''Vlad: it is the index of the considered site i. It feels an internal field from all the z sites connected to site i.'''
Then I solved the relations for <math>m</math> and <math>m^\dagger</math> and found that:


Also, why is the third formula:
<math>m_A = m + m^\dagger</math>


<math>H = (h + Jzm)\sum_{i}S_i</math>
<math>m_B = m - m^\dagger</math>


I thought it would be:
Then substituting this into the previous equations I get:


<math>H = (-h + Jzm)\sum_{i}S_i</math>
<math>m_A = tanh(-\beta(h + \frac{1}{2}Jz(m - m^\dagger))</math>


since the external field is being subtracted in the initial equation above.
<math>m_B = tanh(-\beta(h + \frac{1}{2}Jz(m + m^\dagger))</math>
 
 
'''Vlad: there actually is a typo in these old notes. The correct expression should be:'''
 
'''<math>H = -(h + Jzm)\sum_{i}S_i</math>'''
 
'''since in the first expression <math>S_j\; \rightarrow m </math>,  and the sum over the <math> j=1,...,z\; </math> neighbors of the site <math>i</math> just produce a factor <math>z\;</math>.'''
 
 
Also on the homework, I am not sure where the <math>m_A\;</math> and <math>m_B\;</math> come into play. Do we just use them for the self consistent equations like we did in class:
 
<math>tanh(\beta(\frac{1}{2}Jzm+h)) = m_0</math>
 
or are we supposed to substitute one of them into the initial equation of the Ising Model?
 
'''Vlad: you see, here the same IDEA applies. However, the magnetization on sublattice A is expressed in terms of the magnetization on sublattice B. Thus we get a similar self-consistency conditions:'''
 
'''<math>m_A = tanh(\beta(\frac{1}{2}Jzm_B +h))</math>'''
 
and
 
'''<math>m_B = tanh(\beta(\frac{1}{2}Jzm_A +h))</math>, etc.'''

Can you tell me if this is right? Ive spent some time now working on parts 2,3, and 4 and I am worried that I made an error in part 1 that is propagating to the later parts.

I found the two self-consistent equations for and to be:

Then I solved the relations for and and found that:

Then substituting this into the previous equations I get:
