Abstract
In this chapter we consider systems with stochastic dynamics, governed by master equations and defined on a lattice. The system to be studied comprises a lattice with N sites. To each site one associates a stochastic variable that takes discrete values. Here we consider the simplest example in which the variables take only two values: + 1 or − 1. We denote by σ i the variable associated to the site i, so that σ i = ±1.
