Landau singularities and singularities of holonomic integrals of the Ising class

We consider families of multiple and simple integrals of the 'Ising class' and the linear ordinary differential equations with polynomial coefficients they are solutions of. We compare the full set of singularities given by the roots of the head polynomial of these linear ODEs and the subset of singularities occurring in the integrals, with the singularities obtained from the Landau conditions. For these Ising class integrals, we show that the Landau conditions can be worked out, either to give the singularities of the corresponding linear differential equation or the singularities occurring in the integral. The singular behaviour of these integrals is obtained in the self- dual variable w = s/ 2/( 1 + s(2)), with s = sinh( 2K), where K = J/ kT is the usual Ising model coupling constant. Switching to the variable s, we show that the singularities of the analytic continuation of series expansions of these integrals actually break the Kramers - Wannier duality. We revisit the singular behaviour ( Zenine et al 2005 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 38 9439 - 74) of the third contribution to the magnetic susceptibility of Ising model chi((3)) at the points 1 + 3w + 4w(2) = 0 and show that.( 3)( s) is not singular at the corresponding points inside the unit circle vertical bar s vertical bar = 1, while its analytical continuation in the variable s is actually singular at the corresponding points 2 + s + s(2) = 0 outside the unit circle (vertical bar s vertical bar > 1).
