Popis: It is noted that the pair correlation matrix χ of the nearest neighbor Ising model on periodic three-dimensional (d=3) kagome-like lattices of corner-sharing triangles can be calculated partially exactly. Specifically, a macroscopic number 1/3N+1 out of N eigenvalues of χ are degenerate at all temperatures T, and correspond to an eigenspace L_ of χ, independent of T. Degeneracy of the eigenvalues, and L_ are an exact result for a complex d=3 statistical physical model. It is further noted that the eigenvalue degeneracy describing the same L_ is exact at all T in an infinite spin dimensionality m limit of the isotropic m-vector approximation to the Ising models. A peculiar match of the opposite m=1 and m→ ∞ limits can be interpreted that the m→ ∞ considerations are exact for m=1. It is not clear whether the match is coincidental. It is then speculated that the exact eigenvalues degeneracy in L_ in the opposite limits of m can imply their quasi-degeneracy for intermediate 1≤m
