A Mermin--Wagner theorem for Gibbs states on Lorentzian triangulations
Abstract
We establish a Mermin--Wagner type theorem for Gibbs states on infinite random Lorentzian triangulations (LT) arising in models of quantum gravity. Such a triangulation is naturally related to the distribution of a critical Galton--Watson tree, conditional upon non-extinction. At the vertices of the triangles we place classical spins taking values in a torus of dimension , with a given group action of a torus of dimension . In the main body of the paper we assume that the spins interact via a two-body nearest-neighbor potential invariant under the action of . We analyze quenched Gibbs measures generated by and prove that, for -almost all Lorentzian triangulations, every such Gibbs measure is -invariant, which means the absence of spontaneous continuous symmetry-breaking.
