3. Consider a 2 × 2 square lattice of spins interacting via the Ising Hamiltonian in the absence of a magnetic field: H = - ΣSi Sj, (ij) we have set J = 1. (a) Write down all the possible configurations and calculate the energy for each one of them. (b) Calculate the partition function Z, as a function of temperature, by summing over all configurations. (c) Repeat question (3a) and (3b), using periodic boundary condi- tions.
