Reflection positivity and quantum Griffiths' inequalities

Abstract

We propose a new method of constructing the quantum Griffiths inequality. From a viewpoint of operator inequalities, we first study the quantum rotor model. This viewpoint clarifies important connections between the reflection positivity and the Griffiths inequality. Next we apply our method to the spin-$1/2$ quantum Heisenberg model. Finally we point out a model-independent structure which governs the correlation inequalities.

Correlation Inequalities for the Quantum XY Model

Costanza Benassi, Benjamin Lees, Daniel Ueltschi

We show the positivity or negativity of truncated correlation functions in the quantum XY model with spin 1/2 (at any temperature) and spin 1 (in the ground state). These Griffiths-Ginibre inequalities of the second kind generalise an earlier result of Gallavotti.

Monotonicity of correlation functions

Paul A. Pearce

Counterexamples to pair correlation monotonicity inequalities, analogous to Griffiths’ second inequality for the Ising model, are presented for the finite spin Heisenberg model, the spin−(1/2) X–Y model, the anisotropic planar classical Heinsberg model, and the spherical model.

Lieb’s spin-reflection-positivity method, Lieb lattice and all that

Guang‐Shan Tian

In the present chapter we review some rigorous results derived with Lieb’s spin-reflectionpositivity method in a pedagogical manner. To begin with, we emphasize the important role played by the sign rule satisfied by the ground-state wave function of a quantum many-body system. For example, we study some localized spin systems, such as the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model, in detail. Then we argue why such a rule is difficult to establish for the ground-state wave functions of itinerant electron models. By using the spin-reflection-positivity method, we show that this problem can be partially remedied. A weaker form of the sign rule is uncovered. It enables us to prove several inequalities satisfied by either an electron pairing correlation function or a magnetic correlation function of the Hubbard model on a bipartite lattice. These inequalities imply that, if a bipartite lattice has macroscopically unequal numbers of sublattice sites, then the Hubbard model at half-filling is either a supersolid or a ferrimagnet. Similar inequalities can also be proven for the periodic Anderson model and the Kondo lattice model. Finally, by applying a generalized version of the spin-reflection-positivity method, we further establish an inequality satisfied by the charged and spin gaps of these models. Based on them, we make some audacious conjectures, and then we summarize this chapter.

Bootstrapping the Ising Model on the Lattice

Minjae Cho, Barak Gabai, Ying‐Hsuan Lin +3 more

We study the statistical Ising model of spins on the infinite lattice using a bootstrap method that combines spin-flip identities with positivity conditions, including reflection positivity and Griffiths inequalities, to derive rigorous two-sided bounds on spin correlators through semi-definite programming. For the 2D Ising model on the square lattice, the bootstrap bounds based on correlators supported in a 13-site diamond-shaped region determine the nearest-spin correlator to within a small window, which for a wide range of coupling and magnetic field is narrower than the precision attainable with Monte Carlo methods. We also report preliminary results of the bootstrap bounds for the 3D Ising model on the cubic lattice.
