Correlation Inequalities for Spin Glasses

We prove a correlation type inequality for spin systems with quenched symmetric random interactions. This gives monotonicity of the pressure with respect to the strength of the interaction for a class of spin glass models. Consequences include existence of the thermodynamic limit for the pressure and bounds on the surface pressure. We also describe other conjectured inequalities for such systems

Note on a diffraction-amplification problem

We investigate the solution of the equation \partial_t E(x,t)-iD\partial_x^2 E(x,t)= \lambda |S(x,t)|^2 E(x,t)$, for x in a circle and S(x,t) a Gaussian stochastic field with a covariance of a particular form. It is shown that the coupling \lambda_c at which diverges for t>=1 (in suitable units), is always less or equal for D>0 than D=0.Comment: REVTeX file, 8 pages, submitted to Journal of Physics
