Upper bound on the second derivative of the quenched pressure in spin-glass models: weak Griffiths second inequality

The Griffiths first and second inequalities have played an important role in the analysis of ferromagnetic models. In spin-glass models, although the counterpart of the Griffiths first inequality has been obtained, the counterpart of the Griffiths second inequality has not been established. In this study, we generalize the method in the previous work [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 76, 074711 (2007)] to the case with multi variables for both symmetric and non-symmetric distributions of the interactions, and derive some correlation inequalities for spin-glass models. Furthermore, by combining the acquired equalities in symmetric distributions, we show that there is a non-trivial positive upper bound on the second derivative of the quenched pressure with respect to the strength of the randomness, which is a weak result of the counterpart of the Griffiths second inequality in spin-glass models for general symmetric distributions.
