Abstract

In the single-phase region (including the critical point) of a nearest-neighbor Ising ferromagnet with zero external field, the block magnetization and energy within the infinite-volume system are, asymptotically for large block size, independent Gaussian variables when the dimensiond exceeds four. For other models, including ones with long-range interactions, a sufficient condition for such triviality of the scaling limit is finiteness of the “bubble quantity”.
