Abstract
The microcanonical transfer matrix and its extensions offer a new way of obtaining exact partition functions on finite two dimensional lattices. We show the density of the partition function zeros in the complex x- plane for the Ising model at and , and the density of the partition function zeros in the complex y-plane for the three-state Potts model.
