Abstract: (Elsevier)
We discuss some features of Ising and gauge systems in the complex temperature plane. The distribution of zeros of the partition function enables one to study critical properties in a way complementary to the methods using real values. Data on small lattices confirm this picture. Nearby complex singularities seem to exhibit a universal behavior which might have some relation with a model of random surfaces.
