"Almost" mean-field ising model: An algebraic approach

Abstract

We study the thermodynamic limit of the algebraic dynamics for an "almost" mean-field Ising model, which is a slight generalization of the Ising model in the mean-field approximation. We prove that there exists a family of "relevant" states on which the algebraic dynamics αt can be defined. This αt defines a group of automorphisms of the algebra obtained by completing the standard spin algebra with respect to the quasiuniform topology defined by our states. © 1991 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
