Abstract
With a special Sierpinski carpet (SC), the Ising model is exactly solv ed by a combinatorial approach and graph technique. The rigorous parti tion function and free energy are obtained and the phase transition is investigated. We argue that the existence of a phase transition stron gly depends on the order of ramification of the SC. Our method is exte nded to deal with other lattices.
