Abstract

We consider spin-flip dynamics of Ising lattice spin systems and study the time evolution of concentration inequalities. For “weakly interacting” dynamics we show that the Gaussian concentration bound is conserved in the course of time and it is satisfied by the unique stationary Gibbs measure. Next we show that, for a general class of translation-invariant spin-flip dynamics, it is impossible to evolve in finite time from a low-temperature Gibbs state towards a measure satisfying the Gaussian concentration bound. Finally, we consider the time evolution of the weaker uniform variance bound, and show that this bound is conserved under a general class of spin-flip dynamics.
