Abstract

We consider certain self-adjoint observables for the KMS state associated to the Hamiltonian H=σxσxH= \sigma^x \otimes \sigma^x over the quantum spin lattice C2C2C2...\mathbb{C}^2 \otimes \mathbb{C}^2 \otimes \mathbb{C}^2 \otimes .... For a fixed observable of the form LLL...L \otimes L \otimes L \otimes ..., where L:C2C2L:\mathbb{C}^2 \to \mathbb{C}^2 , and for the zero temperature limit one can get a naturally defined stationary probability μ\mu on the Bernoulli space {1,2}N\{1,2\}^\mathbb{N}. This probability is ergodic but it is not mixing for the shift map. It is not a Gibbs state for a continuous normalized potential but its Jacobian assume only two values almost everywhere. Anyway, for such probability μ\mu we can show that a Large Deviation Principle is true for a certain class of functions. The result is derived by showing the explicit form of the free energy which is differentiable.
