Show affiliationsWe study complex-temperature singularities of the Ising model on the triangular and honeycomb lattices. We first discuss the complex-T phases and their boundaries. From exact results, we determine the complex-T singularities in the specific heat and magnetization. For the triangular lattice we discuss the implications of the divergence of the magnetization at the point
(where
) and extend a previous study by Guttmann of the susceptibility at this point with the use of differential approximants. For the honeycomb lattice, from an analysis of low-temperature series expansions, we have found evidence that the uniform and staggered susceptibilities
and
both have divergent singularities at
, and our numerical values for the exponents are consistent with the hypothesis that the exact values are
. The critical amplitudes at this singularity were calculated. Using our exact results for
and
together with numerical values for
from series analyses, we find that the exponent relation
is violated at z = -1 on the honeycomb lattice; the right-hand side is consistent with being equal to 4 rather than 2. The connections of the critical exponents at these two singularities on the triangular and honeycomb lattice are discussed.
