Extremality of the Disordered State for the Ising Model on General Trees

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Progress in Probability ((PRPR,volume 40))

Abstract

We develop a method to study extremality of the disordered state ℙβ for the Ising model on a general countable tree T. It is shown that the tail σ- field is ℙβ -trivial as soon as β is less than the spin glass critical inverse temperature \( \beta _c^{SG} \), which is determined from the relation tanh\( (\beta _c^{SG} ) = {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {\sqrt {br(T)} }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\sqrt {br(T)}}} \). The method is based on the FK representation of ferromagnetic systems and recursive estimates on conditional expectations of the spin at the root. Similar estimates in the context of the bit reconstruction problem on general trees were originally obtained in [EKPS] using different methods.

Résumé

On développe une méthode pour étudier l’extrémalité de l’état désordonné ℙβ pour le modèle d’Ising sur un arbre dénombrable général T. On montre que la tribu de queue est triviale dès que β est inférieur à\( \beta _c^{SG} \), (inverse de la température critique du verre de spin) déterminé par la relation:

$$ (\beta _c^{SG} ) = {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {\sqrt {br(T)} }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\sqrt {br(T)}.}} $$

La méthode est fondée sur la représentation FK des systèmes ferromagnétiques et sur des estimées récursives des espérances conditionnelles du spin à la racine. Des estimées similaires dans le contexte du problème de la reconstruction du spin sur des arbres généraux ont été obtenus d’abord dans [EKPS] par W. Evans, C.Kenyon, Y.Peres, L.Schulman en utilisant des méthodes différentes.
