Spin blocking refers to a process in which we replace a group of spins by a single spin whose direction is determined by ‘majority rule’. That is, if most of the spins in the group are up, then the block spin is said to be up; if most spins are down, then the block spin is down. The block spins interact with a different set of couplings $\{K'_\alpha\}$.

Consider a $b\times b\times\cdots\times b$ block of spins, and define the block spin projector, $$\CT\big(\sigma'_a\,,\,\{\sigma\ns_i\}\big)=\begin{cases} 1 & \hbox{of $\sigma'_a={sgn}\left(\sum_{i=1}^{b^d}\sigma\ns_{a,i}\right)$}\\ 0 & \hbox{otherwise}\ . \end{cases}$$ Note that $$\sum_{\sigma\ns_a}\,\CT\big(\sigma'_a\,,\,\{\sigma\ns_{a,i}\}\big)=1 \ .$$ Here $a$ indexes the blocks, and $\sigma\ns_{a,i}$ denotes the $i^{th}$ spin within the $a^{th}$ block. The block spin projector effects the ‘majority rule’ operation, assigning $\sigma'_a$ to $\pm 1$ depending on whether the majority of the spins in the block $a$ are up ($\sigma'_a=+1$) or down ($\sigma'_a=-1)$. Note that such a procedure presumes an odd number of spins in each block. Then $$\begin{aligned} Z&=\sum_{\{\sigma\ns_i\}}e^{-\beta\HH[\{\sigma\ns_i\}]}\nonumber\\ &=\sum_{\{\sigma'_a\}}\left\{\sum_{\{\sigma\ns_i\}} e^{-\beta\HH[\{\sigma\ns_{a.i}\}]}\prod_a\CT\big(\sigma'_a\,,\,\{\sigma\ns_{a,i}\}\big)\right\}\nonumber\\ &=\sum_{\{\sigma'_a\}}e^{-\beta \HH'[\{\sigma'_a\}]}\ ,\end{aligned}$$ where $$e^{-\beta \HH'[\{\sigma'_a\}]}=\sum_{\{\sigma\ns_i\}} e^{-\beta\HH[\{\sigma\ns_i\}]} \prod_a \CT\big(\sigma'_a\,,\,\{\sigma\ns_{a,i}\}\big)\ .$$
