An Entity of Type: Difference104748836, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In statistical mechanics, the Griffiths inequality, sometimes also called Griffiths–Kelly–Sherman inequality or GKS inequality, named after Robert B. Griffiths, is a correlation inequality for ferromagnetic spin systems. Informally, it says that in ferromagnetic spin systems, if the 'a-priori distribution' of the spin is invariant under spin flipping, the correlation of any monomial of the spins is non-negative; and the two point correlation of two monomial of the spins is non-negative.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • In statistical mechanics, the Griffiths inequality, sometimes also called Griffiths–Kelly–Sherman inequality or GKS inequality, named after Robert B. Griffiths, is a correlation inequality for ferromagnetic spin systems. Informally, it says that in ferromagnetic spin systems, if the 'a-priori distribution' of the spin is invariant under spin flipping, the correlation of any monomial of the spins is non-negative; and the two point correlation of two monomial of the spins is non-negative. The inequality was proved by Griffiths for Ising ferromagnets with two-body interactions, then generalised by Kelly and Sherman to interactions involving an arbitrary number of spins, and then by Griffiths to systems with arbitrary spins. A more general formulation was given by Ginibre, and is now called the Ginibre inequality. (en)
