For a wide class of the models, we prove that if there exists a spectral gap above the ground state, then the correlation functions have a stretched exponentially decaying upper bound. This is an extension of the McBryan-Spencer method at finite temperatures to zero temperature. The class includes quantum spin and electron models on the lattices, and our method also allows finite or infinite (quasi)degeneracy of the ground state. The resulting bounds rule out the possibility of the corresponding magnetic and electric long-range order.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2005-11-23T09:47:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05.50.+q" ], "keywords": [ "spectral gap", "lattice systems", "dimensions", "ground state", "zero temperature correlations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "J.
