Fisher zeros of the Ising antiferromagnet in an arbitrary nonzero magnetic field

From the exact partition functions of the Ising model on L x L square lattices (up to L = 14) in an arbitrary nonzero external magnetic field H, the precise distributions of the Fisher zeros in the complex temperature (a = e(2betaJ)) plane are obtained. Our results indicate that in the limit L-->infinity the Fisher zeros for H not = 0 do cut the positive real axis at the antiferromagnetic critical point ac(H); these values are compared with the results of closed-form approximations for the antiferromagnetic critical line. From the Fisher zeros the thermal scaling exponent yt = 1 is also obtained along the critical line, indicating the logarithmic singularity of the specific heat for the antiferromagnetic Ising model even in a strong uniform magnetic field.
