Abstract
We consider the low-temperature expansion for the Ising model on \(\mathbb{Z}^d ,d \geqslant 2\), with ferromagnetic nearest neighbor interactions in terms of Peierls contours. We prove that the expansion converges for all temperatures smaller than Cd(log d)−1, which is the correct order in d.
