Existence of a Phase Transition in the One-Dimensional Ising Spin Glass Model with Long-Range Interactions on the Nishimori Line

Abstract

Dyson [Commun. Math. Phys. 12, 91 (1969)] rigorously proved the existence of a phase transition in the one-dimensional Ising model with long-range interactions of the form $r^{-\alpha }$ for $1<\alpha <2$. In the present study, we extend this result to the Ising spin glass model with Gaussian disorder on the Nishimori line. Following Dyson's method, we first prove the existence of long-range order at finite low temperatures in the Dyson hierarchical Ising spin glass model on the Nishimori line, with power-law-like interactions $J(r)\sim r^{-\alpha }$ for $1<\alpha <3/2$. The key ingredients of the proof are the interpolation method developed in the rigorous analysis of mean-field spin glass models, the Gibbs--Bogoliubov inequality on the Nishimori line, and the Tsirelson--Ibragimov--Sudakov inequality (Gaussian concentration inequality). We then use the Griffiths inequality on the Nishimori line to rigorously establish the existence of a phase transition in the one-dimensional Ising spin glass model with long-range interactions on the Nishimori line for $1<\alpha <3/2$. For $3/2\le \alpha \le 2$, the existence of a phase transition remains an open problem.
