We obtain analogous results in the case of infinite-range interactions which decay only algebraically. The results also hold under less restricting conditions on the single-site potentials of the Hamiltonian. The main new technique is to get decay of correlation with the help of a directional Poincar\\'e inequality deduced by an averaging technique. In addition, we show that in the case of ferromagnetic interaction a weaker algebraic decay of correlations can be bootstrapped into a decay of the same order as the spin-spin interactions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-10-15T04:23:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "82B20", "60K35", "82C26" ], "keywords": [ "infinite range interactions", "spin systems", "correlation", "equivalence", "weaker algebraic decay" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1410.3924H" } } }
