The Thermodynamic Limit of Short-Range Spin Glasses with Periodic Boundary Conditions
Abstract
For the nearest-neighbour Edwards--Anderson Ising model on the discrete torus, we prove existence of the quenched thermodynamic limit and almost-sure self-averaging of the free-energy density. The only moment assumption in the main argument is E|J|<∞, and no symmetry or centering of the coupling law is needed. The proof avoids periodic subadditivity: the wrap-around bonds form a surface-order perturbation, while a tiling argument and the strong law of large numbers give the free-boundary limit. We also obtain the quantitative bounds (O(L−1) for the disorder-averaged finite-volume correction. A precise common probability space is specified, since an almost-sure statement across volumes is otherwise not well defined.
