The talk will focu s on a quantitative version of the statement established in a previous wor k with J. Wehr. The result is a power-law upper bound on the decay of the effects of boundary conditions on the magnetization in finite systems\, as function of the distance to the boundary. The analysis applies to all fie ld strengths and all temperatures\, including T =0. However the result doe s not resolve the question of possible transition to exponential decay at weak disorder. The corresponding questions concerning disorder effects on systems with continuous symmetry in three and four dimensions also remain open. The talk is based on a recent joint work with Ron Peled (TAU).\n  \n DTSTART:20180927T200000Z DTEND:20180927T210000Z LOCATION:Room 1140\, CA\, Pav.
