Limit theorems for the cubic mean-field Ising model

Mathematical Physics 2024-07-16 v2 math.MP

Abstract

We study a mean-field spin model with three- and two-body interactions. The equilibrium measure for large volumes is shown to have three pure states, the phases of the model. They include the two with opposite magnetization and an unpolarized one with zero magnetization, merging at the critical point. We prove that the central limit theorem holds for a suitably rescaled magnetization, while its violation with the typical quartic behavior appears at the critical point.
