We consider a one dimensional Ising chain with interaction potential J ( k ) such that J ( k ) = 0 when k > n . By a perturbation argument we show that long range order exists at sufficiently low temperatures if and only ifThis is consistent with Dyson's recent theorems and in addition predicts that when J ( k ) = k −2 there is no long range order.
