Abstract
The combinatorial approach to the triangular Ising model is shown to be considerably simplified at a given temperature TD. This enables the partition function and spin-correlation functions to be evaluated without the use of pfaffians, thus providing a simple derivation of a few of the results obtained previously by Stephenson. We confirm the results of Stephenson, that at the temperature TD, the correlation functions have the same structure as the correlations of a one-dimensional Ising lattice. The only new result is a general expression for some of the spin–spin correlation functions when the spins do not lie on the axes of the lattice.
