Zero-freeness transfer to a neighborhood of zero for 2-spin systems
Fix parameters and , not both zero, and let denote the partition function of the 2-spin system with boundary condition . Suppose it is zero-free on a complex region . Zero-freeness transfer conjecture. There exists a complex neighborhood of such that and is zero-free on . The paper asks whether all zero-free regions for 2-spin systems must arise in complex neighborhoods of or, after a spin switch, from the other special parameter setting. This remains open in the source.
