Berezin called “THE PLANE ISING MODEL” (Berezin in Russ Math Surv 24:1, 1969) where Onsager’s solution of the two-dimensional Ising model is found by means of integrals over anticommuting variables (Grassmann variables). Berezin’s work provides a very elegant method for solving the Ising model which turns out to be much simpler if compared to previous methods. Berezin’s work represents also the very first use of anticommuting variables for solving actual combinatorial problems. Western literature, however, has ignored Ref. Berezin (Russ Math Surv 24:1, 1969). In fact, more than a decade after Berezin’s paper, S. Samuel re-found, independently, essentially the same solution obtained by Berezin, but with no reference to his work. S. Samuel solved also other planar models and paved the way to a subsequent proliferation of papers both related to statistical mechanics and fermionic field theories. Yet, we have verified that, until now, western literature still does not cite the original work of Berezin on the Ising model. The aim of this perspective paper is to fix this chronic issue and contextualize it within the unfortunate biographical and historical facts around Berezin’s life.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":791,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal H","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143496967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Those made by Flügge and Peierls in 1939 are compared with the calculations made by Perrin (1939), Heisenberg (1939 and 1945) and Serber (1943). Fermi’s 1942 reactor calculations are not covered here because that would call for a separate paper. Heisenberg calculated the critical radius formula and some critical radii in 1939 for a reactor. He focused on reactors 1939–45 and apparently did not make a bomb calculation before his August 1945 Farm Hall Lecture where he independently reproduced the 1943 Los Alamos Primer calculation for a bomb to within the limits that he knew the fast fission cross section. Flügge attempted a ponderous alternative to a critical radius calculation. Perrin’s calculation predates the Heisenberg and Serber calculations. His theoretical choice of tamper boundary condition was not optimal but his calculation method was correct. Peierls aimed to improve on Perrin's method but did worse. Finally, we calculate the 2.1 cm critical radius stated in the Frisch–Peierls Memorandum from Peierls’ model and graph, and we also show how Frisch and Peierls likely calculated it, including why Frisch assumed a fission cross section of 10 barn in his calculation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":791,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal H","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142976386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
