Infrared bound and mean-field behaviour in the quantum Ising model    [PDF]

Jakob E. Björnberg

We prove an infrared bound for the transverse field Ising model. This bound is stronger than the previously known infrared bound for the model, and allows us to investigate mean-field behaviour. As an application we show that the critical exponent $\gamma$ for the susceptibility attains its mean-field value $\gamma=1$ in dimension at least 4 (positive temperature), respectively 3 (ground state), with logarithmic corrections in the boundary cases.
