By mapping the Ising model onto an ensemble of non-interacting lattice fermions, we have shown that the critical temperature for the spin glass phase transition appears to vanish. This result applies for all concentrations of negative bonds where the ground state is a spin glass.Mahidol UniversityMathematicsPhysics and AstronomyArticleSCOPUS10.1088/0305-4470/36/24/306
