Existence of a phase transition in the one-dimensional Ising spin glass model with long-range interactions on the Nishimori line

Abstract Dyson (1969 Commun. Math. Phys. 12 91) rigorously proved the existence of a phase transition in the one-dimensional Ising model with long-range interactions of the form r − α for 1 < α < 2 . In the present study, we extend this result to the Ising spin glass model with Gaussian disorder on the Nishimori line. Following Dyson’s method, we first prove the existence of long-range order at finite low temperatures in the Dyson hierarchical Ising spin glass model on the Nishimori line, with power-law-like interactions J ( r ) ∼ r − α for 1 < α < 3 / 2 . The key ingredients of the proof are the interpolation method developed in the rigorous analysis of mean-field spin glass models, the Gibbs–Bogoliubov inequality on the Nishimori line, and the Tsirelson–Ibragimov–Sudakov inequality (Gaussian concentration inequality). We then use the Griffiths inequality on the Nishimori line to rigorously establish the existence of a phase transition in the one-dimensional Ising spin glass model with long-range interactions on the Nishimori line for 1 < α < 3 / 2 . For 3 / 2 ⩽ α ⩽ 2 , the existence of a phase transition remains an open problem.
