    We study the equilibrium statistical mechanics of the semi-infinite Ising model, interpreted as a model of a binary system near a wall. In particular, the wetting transition is analyzed. In dimensions \(d\geq3\) and at low temperature, we prove the existence of a layering transition which is of first-order. Part I, Commun. Math. Phys. 109, 493--523 (1987).
