Abstract

We consider the d=1d=1 Ising model with Kac potentials at inverse temperature β>1\beta>1 where mean field predicts a phase transition with two possible equilibrium magnetization ±mβ\pm m_\beta, mβ>0m_\beta>0. We show that when the Kac scaling parameter γ\gamma is sufficiently small typical spin configurations are described (via a coarse graining) by an infinite sequence of successive plus and minus intervals where the empirical magnetization is "close" to mβm_\beta and respectively mβ-m_\beta. We prove that the corresponding marginal of the unique DLR measure is a renewal process.
