High-temperature exponential clustering conjecture for short-range interactions

About 3 years old · traced to

Let Cint>0C_\mathrm{int}>0, b>0b>0, and ν∈N\nu\in\mathbb{N}. For an interaction Ψ\varPsi on Zν\mathbb{Z}^\nu, assume

\normΨexp⁡(−b ⋅)<Cint.\norm{\varPsi}_{\exp(-b\,\cdot)}<C_\mathrm{int}.

High-temperature exponential clustering conjecture. There exist β∗\beta^*, CCovC_\mathrm{Cov}, cCov>0c_\mathrm{Cov}>0, and n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N} such that, for every β<β∗\beta<\beta^* and every finite Λ⋐Zν\varLambda\Subset\mathbb{Z}^\nu, the Gibbs state ρβΛ\rho^\varLambda_\beta satisfies decay of correlations, with

Cov⁡ρβΛ(X;Y)≤CCov \absXn \absYn e−cCov\distX,Y\operatorname{Cov}_{\rho^\varLambda_\beta}(X;Y) \leq C_\mathrm{Cov}\,\abs{X}^n\,\abs{Y}^n\,\mathrm{e}^{-c_\mathrm{Cov}\dist{X,Y}}

for all X,Y⊂ΛX,Y\subset\varLambda. This is the expected extension of the known high-temperature exponential decay for finite-range systems to short-range interactions in arbitrary dimension; the conjectural point is the uniform bound for interactions with exponentially decaying tails.
