Abstract

We consider a classical dipole gas in the grand canonical ensemble. We prove that in dimensions greater than or equal to three, and for all temperatures, the free energy and the charges-dipoles correlation functions have an expansion in powers ofz, the fugacity of the system, which is asymptotic to all orders. We also give some information about the decay of correlations.
