Homework Statement


In the attachments there is the question and its solution, it's problem 3.5.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


My question is how did they get the dimensionless Hamiltonian in both cases, and how did they explicitly calculated ##m## in both cases?

I assume it's with ##m = \frac{\sum_{\sigma_i}\sigma_i e^{-\beta H}}{\sum e^{-\beta H}}##, but I really don't see how to get to the same terms as in the solution.

Your help is appreciated!
