Abstract: We introduce and consider the notion of stable degeneracies of translation invariant energy functions for finite Ising models. By this term we mean the lack of injectivity that cannot be lifted by changing the interaction. We show that besides the symmetry-induced degeneracies, related to spin flip, translation and reflection, there exist additional stable degeneracies, due to more subtle symmetries. One such symmetry is the one of the Singer group of a finite projective plane. Others are described by combinatorial relations akin to trace identities. Our results resemble traits of the length spectrum for closed geodesics on a Riemannian surface of constant negative curvature. There stable degeneracy is defined w.r.t. Teichm"uller space as parameter space.

Review text

The author considers the degeneracies of translation-invariant Ising spin models in which he allows for two-body interactions between all pairs of spins (one discard neighbouring interactions). He is particularly interested in stable degeneracies which cannot be lifted by changing the translation-invariant interactions. The author derives some results on the lower bounds of degeneracy and on the deviation of degeneracy. For instance, he uses substitution techniques to generate spin chain configurations with large stable degeneracy.
