Abstract
The idea of renormalization can be understood as a successive thinning out of the degrees of freedom in the partition function. The N-particle problem is transformed into an N’-particle problem with N’ < N, whereby the temperature T and the magnetic field H may also have to be renormalized. Assume in the following that there is no external magnetic field, H–0.
