a contour-counting proof that the two-dimensional Ising model orders at low temperature because large domain walls cost more energy than they gain in entropy.

In statistical physics, Peierls argument refers to a contour-counting proof that the two-dimensional Ising model orders at low temperature because large domain walls cost more energy than they gain in entropy. This meaning comes from Peierls (1936) in Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society.[1]
