Corner transfer matrices

Abstract: For two-dimensional lattice models with interactions only between nearest (and diagonally nearest) neighbour spins, a well-known concept is the row-to-row transfer matrix. Less well-known is the “corner” transfer matrix (CTM). This has some very useful properties. If it is normalized so that its largest eigenvalue is unity, and the eigenvalues are arranged in numerically decreasing order, then each eigenvalue tends to a limit as the lattice becomes large.
