Abstract

This chapter develops in detail the most advanced of the two coarse graining techniques employed in the previous chapter. Roughly, it consists in looking at the system in blocks of finite size k, which essentially is the annealed correlation length: if we can get suitable estimates for systems up to that size k, we can bound the fractional moment of the partition function of the (arbitrarily large) system in terms of the partition function of a homogeneous model with pinning parameter that depend on the estimates up to size k.
