Abstract

We prove two geometric lemmas for SN1S^{N-1}-valued functions that allow to modify sequences of lattice spin functions on a small percentage of nodes during a discrete-to-continuum process so as to have a fixed average. This is used to simplify known formulas for the homogenization of spin systems.
