Abstract

We study the analytical continuation in the complex plane of free energy of the Ising model on diamond-like hierarchical lattices. It is known [12, 13] that the singularities of free energy of this model lie on the Julia set of some rational endomorphismf related to the action of the Migdal-Kadanoff renorm-group. We study the asymptotics of free energy when temperature goes along hyperbolic geodesics to the boundary of an attractive basin off. We prove that for almost all (with respect to the harmonic measure) geodesics the complex critical exponent is common, and compute it.
