Ising model and more complex interactions between particles

Hello,
First of all, sorry if my question is trivial but I'm not a physicist ;-)
I heard a lot about the Ising model used to compute the energy of a system with 2 states. This model seems to be a bit "simple" because it assumes that particles interact with their nearest neighbors only. I was wondering if they were more complicated models that would consider more complicated interactions ?

E = \sum_{ij} J_{ij} S_i S_j
Actually, I was wrong cause we can really put whatever we want in J_{ij}, is that right ? If we do so, we can also approximate the solution that minimizes the energy function ?
 

Thread 'Toponium Discovered'

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...

Thread 'Dirac-Delta from Normalization of Continuous Eigenfunctions'

I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
