| dc.description | If the Boltzmann-Gibbs state $ω_N$ of a mean-field $N$-particle system with Hamiltonian $H_N$ verifies the condition $$ ω_N(H_N) \ge ω_N(H_{N_1}+H_{N_2}) $$ for every decomposition $N_1+N_2=N$, then its free energy density increases with $N$. We prove such a condition for a wide class of spin models which includes the Curie-Weiss model, its p-spin generalizations (for both even and odd p), its random field version and also the finite pattern Hopfield model. For all these cases the existence of the thermodynamic limit by subadditivity and boundedness follows. | |
