A Multi-Body Dobrushin-Sokal Criterion -- Part II

Mathematical Physics 2026-06-28 v1

Abstract

We prove a sufficient condition for the absolute convergence of Mayer cluster expansions of log-partition and correlation functions applicable to lattice gases with possibly complex-valued multi-body interactions. Not only are several classical results subsumed but a partition scheme for spanning hypergraphs also makes our methods well-suited for treating stronger multi-body interactions, including higher-order hard-core repulsion in the context of hypergraph independence polynomials. Furthermore, our approach is easily combined with the Gruber--Kunz condition to produce extended convergence results for the polymer expansion of lattice gases, rivalling those obtained not too long ago by Nguyen and Fern\'andez (2024).
