Phase Transition in the 1d Random Field Ising Model with Long Range Interaction

We study one–dimensional Ising spin systems with ferromagnetic, long–range interaction decaying as n ^−2+α , , in the presence of external random fields. We assume that the random fields are given by a collection of symmetric, independent, identically distributed real random variables, gaussian or subgaussian. We show, for temperature and strength of the randomness (variance) small enough, with IP = 1 with respect to the random fields, that there are at least two distinct extremal Gibbs measures.
