How to demonstrate a correlation inequality? [closed]

If there are 3 vectors X, Y, Z of the same length, for any $x_i \in X,y_i \in Y,z_i \in Z$, we have $0<x_i<1,0<y_i<1,0<z_i<1$. The correlation between Z, Y is greater than between X, ...

Expected value of global functions in renormalization group

This is related to my previous question. I'm having some problems understanding the local to global program discussed in Brydge's lecture notes. We are assuming $C=C_{1}+\cdots+C_{N}$ is a covariance ...

Grand-canonical Gibbs measure for continuous systems

Let's consider a bounded (maybe compact) set $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$ with particles interacting on it. Suppose, for each $N \in \mathbb{N}$, $U_{N}: (\mathbb{R}^{d})^{N} \to \mathbb{R}\cup \{+...

Renormalization group map on hierarchical models

I have already addressed this problem on my previous question but I still have trouble understanding Brydges' RG maps on his lecture notes, so I'll try to elaborate my question a little better. Let $\...
