Geometry of contours and Peierls estimates in d=1 Ising models with long range interactions

Abstract: Following Frohlich and Spencer, we study one dimensional Ising spin systems with ferromagnetic, long range interactions which decay as vertical bar x-y vertical bar(-2+alpha), 0 <=alpha <= 1/2. We introduce a geometric description of the spin configurations in terms of triangles which play the role of contours and for which we establish Peierls bounds. This in particular yields a direct proof of the well-known result by Dyson about phase transitions at low temperatures. (C) 2005 American Institute of Physics

“…Our approach is somewhat akin to the bulk of work on the so-called Kac limit of lattice [14][15][16][17] as well as continuum [30,36,37] systems. Here one considers finite-range interactions of unit total strength which are smeared out over a region of scale 1 / γ .…”

“…[14][15][16][17] are based on coarse-graining arguments. As a consequence, we have no difficulty treating models with complicated single-spin spaces-even those exhibiting continuous internal symmetries or leading to power-law decay of correlations-or nearestneighbor systems in large dimensions.…”

“…Dyson proved a part of the Kac-Thompson conjecture, namely that for long-range models with interactions of the form J(n) = n −α with α ∈ (1, 2), there is a phase transition at low temperatures. Later different proofs were found, [32,42,10,1] and also the case α = 2 was shown to have a transition [33].…”

“…Here we will make use of the approach of [10], which has been extended to a number of other situations (Dyson models in random fields [13], interfaces [11], phase separation [12], inhomogeneous decaying fields [6], etc). The disadvantage of this approach is that it works only at very low temperatures, as it is perturbative, and it works only for a reduced set of α-values, α * < α < 2, with α * = 3 − ln 3 ln 2 .…”
