In the first part of this talk, we will give a very gentle introduction to the Ising model. Then , we will explain a very simple proof of a combinatorial formula for the 2D Ising model partition function using the language of Kac-Ward matrices. This approach can be used for general weighted graphs embedded in surfaces, and extends to the study of several other observables. This is a joint work with Dima Chelkak and Adrien Kassel.
