 Curie–Weiss model

The zero-field ferromagnetic Curie–Weiss model is an Ising model on $n$ spins with an equal interaction between every pair. For $s_i\in \{-1,1\}$ and $\beta >0$, its normalized probability mass function is $Z_{n,\beta }^{-1}\exp [\beta ({\sum }_i{s}_i{)}^2/(2n)]$. The partition function $Z_{n,\beta }$ sums these weights over all configurations. The square includes constant diagonal terms; these affect only normalization. Spin inversion symmetry makes every spin's expected value zero, while grouping configurations by their spin magnetization givesHere $m=-1+2k/n$, $0\le k\le n$.
