Classical XY Model - General Properties

General Properties

  • The existence of the thermodynamic limit for the free energy and spin correlations were proved by Ginibre, extending to this case the Griffiths inequality.
  • Using the Griffiths inequality in the formulation of Ginibre, Aizenman and Simon proved that the two point spin correlation of the ferromagnetics XY model in dimension, coupling and inverse temperature is dominated by (i.e. has upper bound given by) the two point correlation of the ferromagnetic Ising model in dimension, coupling and inverse temperature
\langle \mathbf{s}_i\cdot \mathbf{s}_j\rangle_{J,2\beta}
\le \langle \sigma_i\sigma_j\rangle_{J,\beta}
Hence the critical of the XY model cannot be smaller than the double of the critical temperature of the Ising model

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or properties:

    I never saw any people who appeared to live so much without amusement as the Cincinnatians.... Were it not for the churches,... I think there might be a general bonfire of best bonnets, for I never could discover any other use for them.
    Frances Trollope (1780–1863)

    The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.
    John Locke (1632–1704)
