Cayley Trees and Bethe Lattices: A concise analysis for mathematicians and physicists

Abstract

We review critically the concepts and the applications of Cayley Trees and Bethe Lattices in statistical mechanics in a tentative effort to remove widespread misuse of these simple, but yet important–and different–ideal graphs. We illustrate, in particular, two rigorous techniques to deal with Bethe Lattices, based respectively on self-similarity and on the Kolmogorov consistency theorem, linking the latter with the Cavity and Belief Propagation methods, more known to the physics community.
