| He is renowned for his solution of the [[Ising_Models#2-dimensional_Ising_model|two-dimensional Ising model]], a mathematical ''tour de force'' which made clear the nature of [[phase transitions]]. (The fact that the two-dimensional Ising model
| |
| must have a phase transition was advanced by an argument by [[Rudolph Peierls]]).
