GJ §18.4–§18.7: Lattice Ising cluster expansion #1344

Description

@phasetr

Purpose

Formalize the cluster (polymer) expansion for the lattice Ising model, GJ §18.4–§18.7:

  • §18.4 Cluster expansion machinery (lattice version): polymer decomposition, log Z = ∑ over connected polymers
  • §18.5 Convergence of the cluster expansion in activity tanh(βJ)
  • §18.6 Analyticity of log Z in activity within convergence radius
  • §18.7 Exponential decay of ⟨σ_iσ_j⟩ in |i-j| at high temperature

Built on the FV (3.45) closed form Z = 2^|ι|·cosh^|E|·∑_{X even} tanh^|X| already formalized through §18.3.

Background

The cluster expansion is the standard tool for proving high-temperature regime properties (uniqueness of phase, exponential decay, analyticity in coupling). For the lattice Ising model:

  1. The FV (3.45) representation expresses Z / (2^|ι| · cosh^|E|) as a sum over even-degree subgraphs of G.
  2. Even subgraphs decompose into vertex-disjoint connected components (= polymers).
  3. log Z - |ι|·log 2 - |E|·log cosh(βJ) is then a sum over multi-sets of polymers, equivalent (via Mayer expansion) to a sum over clusters with the Ursell coefficient.
  4. Convergence in tanh(βJ) (small) gives all the high-temperature analytic properties.

Tracking

§18.4 foundations (Steps 503-541, 39 PRs merged)

Foundations (Steps 503-516)

Vertex-disjoint compatibility (Steps 518-522, per codex feedback)

Edge-adjacency / connectivity / partition function API (Steps 523-531)

Connected components decomposition (Steps 532-541) ← KEY MILESTONE

Bijection X ↔ Γ (Steps 542+)

The X → Γ direction is now done (Steps 538-541). The Γ → X direction is the obvious Γ.biUnion id (already proved even by Step 508/521). Remaining:

§18.5 — Convergence of polymer-family sum (Steps 549-554)

  • Step 549: VD polymer-family sum ≥ 1
  • Step 550: VD polymer-family sum ≤ 2^|E|
  • Step 551: trivial sandwich 1 ≤ ∑ ≤ 2^|E| (vdPolymerFamilies_sum_sandwich)
  • Step 552: sharper VD polymer-family sum ≤ (1+tanh(β·J))^|E|
  • Step 553/554: sharper sandwich 1 ≤ ∑ ≤ (1+tanh(β·J))^|E| (vdPolymerFamilies_sum_sandwich_sharp)
  • Sharper polymer-density / radius-of-convergence estimates (not yet started)

§18.6 — Analyticity / regularity (Steps 555-564, DONE at h=0)

§18.7 — Correlation decay
