Note that this kind of models do not have one-dimensional analogous, i.e. the considered model persists only on trees. In this paper, we provide a more general construction of forward QMC. In that construction, a QMC is defined as a weak limit of finite volume states with boundary conditions, i.e. QMC depends on the boundary conditions. Our main result states the existence of a phase transition for the Ising model with competing interactions on a Cayley tree of order two. By the phase transition we mean the existence of two distinct QMC which are not quasi-equivalent and their supports do not overlap. We also study some algebraic property of the disordered phase of the model, which is a new phenomena even in a classical setting.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-05-15T13:30:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46L53", "60J99", "46L60", "60G50", "82B10", "81Q10", "94A17" ], "keywords": [ "quantum markov chain", "ising type models", "phase transition", "cayley tree", "boundary conditions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Springer" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
