THE THERMODYNAMIC LIMIT FOR FINITE DIMENSIONAL CLASSICAL AND QUANTUM DISORDERED SYSTEMS

Abstract

We provide a very simple proof for the existence of the thermodynamic limit for the quenched specific pressure for classical and quantum disordered systems on a d-dimensional lattice, including spin glasses. We develop a method which relies simply on Jensen's inequality and which works for any disorder distribution with the only condition (stability) that the quenched specific pressure is bounded.
