We complete the verification of the 1952 Yang and Lee proposal that thermodynamic singularities are exactly the limits in R${\mathbb {R}}$ of finite‐volume singularities in C${\mathbb {C}}$ . For the Ising model defined on a finite Λ⊂Zd$\Lambda \subset \mathbb {Z}^d$ at inverse temperature β≥0$\beta \ge 0$ and external field h, let α1(Λ,β)$\alpha _1(\Lambda ,\beta )$ be the modulus of the first zero (that closest to the origin) of its partition function (in the variable h). We prove that α1(Λ,β)$\alpha _1(\Lambda ,\beta )$ decreases to α1(Zd,β)$\alpha _1(\mathbb {Z}^d,\beta )$ as Λ increases to Zd$\mathbb {Z}^d$ where α1(Zd,β)∈[0,∞)$\alpha _1(\mathbb {Z}^d,\beta )\in [0,\infty )$ is the radius of the largest disk centered at the origin in which the free energy in the thermodynamic limit is analytic. We also note that α1(Zd,β)$\alpha _1(\mathbb {Z}^d,\beta )$ is strictly positive if and only if β is strictly less than the critical inverse temperature.
