Abstract

We study the dependence of the spectral gap for the generator of the Ginzburg-Landau dynamics for all \emph{O(n)\mathcal O(n)-models} with mean-field interaction and magnetic field, below and at the critical temperature on the number NN of particles. For our analysis of the Gibbs measure, we use a one-step renormalization approach and semiclassical methods to study the eigenvalue-spacing of an auxiliary Schr\"odinger operator.

Comments

44 pages, 10 figures. This preprint includes the previous results for the mean-field $\mathcal O(n)$-model and contains new results (sharp spectral gap for the critical temperature-case) with improved presentation. The second part of the previous version, on the chain of oscillators, will be outsourced into an independent preprint
