Abstract

The thermodynamical quantities which occur in the Ising model can be derived from the generating function of the moments of a measure with support on a finite interval. The moments belong either to a ring of polynomials with integer coefficients or to the ring of natural integers. Some general results are given on the nature of the possible generating functions once some additional assumptions are made about the support of the measure.
