Distribution of zeros of the partition function for the one dimensional Ising models

The loci of zeros of the partition functions of the following one dimensional Ising models are obtained, (i) Those of S = 1/2 and with the nearest (J) and the next nearest (J') neighbour interactions. The loci of zeros are classified in several patterns according to a combination of J and J'. In particular when J<0 and J'>0, the existence of two nearly concentric circular arcs whose heads approach points on the positive real axis of z corresponding to the critical field at zero temperature is confirmed. This suggests that the locus of the two and three dimensional Ising antiferromagnet (J<0, J'>0) will be closed two concentric circles below the Neel temperature. (ii) Those of S=1 and of S=3/2 with the nearest neighbour (J) interaction. The locus shrinks to 25 points ( theta = 2 pi j/(2S+1), J=1,2,...,2S) on the unit circle at T = infinity . It extends along the unit circle for J>0 and along a nearly radial direction for J<0 when the temperature decreases.
