A correlation bound for the one-dimensional heterogeneous Ising model
We derive a new upper bound for the correlations in a heterogeneous one-dimensional Ising model with free boundary conditions. The new upper bound quantifies the simultaneous decay of correlations due to weakness of nearest-neighbor coupling constants and the effect of external fields. The proof constitutes an application of random currents to a non-ferromagnetic Ising model.
