contents Both the antiferromagnetic Ising model and the hard-core model could be said to be tractable on line graphs of bounded degree. For example, Glauber dynamics is rapidly mixing in both cases. In the case of the hard-core model, we know that tractability extends further, to claw-free graphs and somewhat beyond. In contrast, it is shown here that the corresponding extensions are not possible in the case of the antiferromagnetic Ising model.
