- ItemExponential decay of transverse correlations for spin systems with continuous symmetry and non-zero external field(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2020) Lees, Benjamin; Taggi, LorenzoWe prove exponential decay of transverse correlations in the Spin O(N) model for arbitrary (non-zero) values of the external magnetic field and arbitrary spin dimension N > 1. Our result is new when N > 3, in which case no Lee-Yang theorem is available, it is an alternative to Lee-Yang when N = 2, 3, and also holds for a wide class of multi-component spin systems with continuous symmetry. The key ingredients are a representation of the model as a system of coloured random paths, a `colour-switch' lemma, and a sampling procedure which allows us to bound from above the `typical' length of the open paths.
- ItemSite-monotonicity properties for reflection positive measures with applications to quantum spin systems(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2020) Lees, Benjamin; Taggi, LorenzoWe consider a general statistical mechanics model on a product of local spaces and prove that, if the corresponding measure is reflection positive, then several site-monotonicity properties for the two-point function hold. As an application of such a general theorem, we derive site-monotonicity properties for the spin-spin correlation of the quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet and XY model, we prove that such spin-spin correlations are point-wise uniformly positive on vertices with all odd coordinates -- improving previous positivity results which hold for the Cesàro sum -- and we derive site-monotonicity properties for the probability that a loop connects two vertices in various random loop models, including the loop representation of the spin O(N) model, the double-dimer model, the loop O(N) model, lattice permutations, thus extending the previous results of Lees and Taggi (2019).
