Abstract
Layered models are models in which the coupling constants depend in an arbitrary way on one spatial coordinate, usually the distance from a free surface or boundary. Here the theory of the boundary critical beh aviour of two-dimensional layered Ising models, including the Hilhorst -van Leeuwen model and models for aperiodic systems, is reviewed, with a particular attention to exact results for the critical behaviour an d the boundary order parameter.
