Phase transitions for XY-model on the Cayley tree of order three in quantum Markov chain scheme

Abstract

In the present Note we study forward Quantum Markov Chains (QMC) defined on a Cayley tree. Using the tree structure of graphs, we give a construction of quantum Markov chains on the Cayley tree. By means of such constructions we prove the existence of a phase transition for the XY-model on a Cayley tree of order three in QMC scheme. By the phase transition we mean the existence of two distinct QMC for the given family of interaction operators { K 〈 x , y 〉 } .
