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.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-06-11T17:48:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "82B20", "60K35", "82B26" ], "keywords": [ "non-zero external field", "exponential decay", "transverse correlations", "continuous symmetry", "arbitrary spin dimension" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
