Higher-order cluster-expansion conjecture for the Ising model on even tori

From papers

Fix kNk\in\mathbb{N}. For the Ising partition function ZZmt(λ,β)Z_{\mathbb{Z}_m^t}(\lambda,\beta) on the even torus Zmt\mathbb{Z}_m^t, let LjL_j denote the sum of the weights of clusters of size jj on the even side,

Lj=ΓCE,jω(Γ).L_j=\sum_{\Gamma\in\mathcal{C}_{\mathcal{E},j}}\omega(\Gamma).

Higher-order cluster-expansion conjecture. There exist functions fk(t)f_k(t) and gk(t)g_k(t) with fk(t)=Ω~(t1/2)f_k(t)=\widetilde{\Omega}(t^{-1/2}) and gk(t)=ot(1)g_k(t)=o_t(1) such that, for every λ>0\lambda>0, β(0,]\beta\in(0,\infty] satisfying λ(1eβ)fk(t)\lambda(1-e^{-\beta})\geq f_k(t), and every even mm,

ZZmt(λ,β)=2(1+λ)mt/2exp(mt2λ(1+λeβ1+λ)2t+L2++Lk(1+gk(t))).Z_{\mathbb{Z}_m^t}(\lambda,\beta)=2(1+\lambda)^{m^t/2}\exp\left(\frac{m^t}{2}\lambda\left(\frac{1+\lambda e^{-\beta}}{1+\lambda}\right)^{2t}+L_2+\dots+L_k(1+g_k(t))\right).

The conjecture extends the range in which finitely many cluster-expansion terms give the exponential asymptotics; the paper proves analogous results for the regimes covered by its methods, but leaves this broader statement open.
