Random-Cluster Correlation Inequalities for Gibbs Fields

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this note we prove a correlation inequality for local variables of a Gibbs field based on the connectivity in a random cluster representation of the non overlap configuration distribution of two independent copies of the field. As a consequence, we show that absence of a particular type of percolation (of Machta–Newman–Stein blue bonds) implies uniqueness of Gibbs distribution in EA Spin Glasses. In dimension two this could constitute a step towards a proof that the critical temperature is zero.
