الوصف: | Exact solution of the Ising model on the simple cubic lattice is one of the long-standing open problems in rigorous statistical mechanics. Indeed, it is generally believed that settling it would constitute a methodological breakthrough, fomenting great prospects for further application, similarly to what happened when Lars Onsager solved the two dimensional model eighty years ago. Hence, there have been many attempts to find analytic expressions for the exact partition function $Z$, but all such attempts have failed due to unavoidable conceptual or mathematical obstructions. Given the importance of this simple yet paradigmatic model, here we set out clear-cut criteria for any claimed exact expression for $Z$ to be minimally plausible. Specifically, we present six necessary -- but not sufficient -- conditions that $Z$ must satisfy. These criteria will allow very quick plausibility checks of future claims. As illustrative examples, we discuss previous mistaken ``solutions,'' unveiling their shortcomings. Comment: 8 pages, minor corrections |
