Fluctuations of the magnetization in the Block Potts Model

Abstract

In this note we study the block spin mean-field Potts model, in which the spins are divided into $s$ blocks and can take $q\ge 2$ different values (colors). Each block is allowed to contain a different proportion of vertices and behaves itself like a mean-field Ising/Potts model which also interacts with other blocks according to different temperatures. Of particular interest is the behavior of the magnetization, which counts the number of colors appearing in the distinct blocks. We prove central limit theorems for the magnetization in the generalized high temperature regime and provide a moderate deviation principle for its fluctuations on lower scalings. More precisely, the magnetization concentrates around the uniform vector of all colors with an explicit, but singular, Gaussian distribution. In order to remove the singular component, we will also consider a rotated magnetization, which enables us to compare our results to various related models.
