Comparison of Ising models under change of a priori measure (Q2164145)

Summary: We study comparison of correlation functions for ferromagnetic generalized Ising models with two different a priori measures. One purpose of this note is to publicize some unpublished \(45\) year old work of Daniel Wells on the issue. We then prove results for the a priori measures associated to one component of \(D\)-vectors uniformly distributed on the unit sphere and also the case of spin \(S(2S+1\) equally spaced values symmetric about \(0\) and with equal weights) that improves some 50 year old bounds of Griffiths on transition temperatures. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1491.46003].
