Galvin Department of Mathematics University of Pennsylvania 209 South 33th Street Philadelphia PA 19104 USA dgalvin@math.upenn.edu Submitted Aug 23 2005 Accepted Jul 28 2006 Published Aug 22 2006 Mathematics Subject Classifications 05C15 82B20 Abstract With a graph G V E we associate a collection of non-negative real weights UveV Ai v 1 i m u u.2E Aij uv 1 i j mg. We consider the probability distribution on f V 1 . m in which each f occurs with probability proportional to HveV Af v v riuveE Af u f v uv. Many well-known statistical physics models including the Ising model with an external field and the hard-core model with non-uniform activities can be framed as such a distribution. We obtain an upper bound independent of G for the partition function the normalizing constant which turns the assignment of weights on f V 1 . m into a probability distribution in the case when G is a regular bipartite graph. This generalizes a bound obtained by Galvin and Tetali who considered the simpler weight collection Ai 1 i m u Aj 1 i j m with each Aij either 0 or 1 and with each f chosen with probability proportional to nvev Af v nuveE Af u f v . Our main tools are a generalization to list homomorphisms of a result of Galvin and Tetali on graph homomorphisms and a straightforward second-moment computation. 1 Introduction and statement of results Let G V G E G and H V H E H be non-empty graphs. Set Hom G H f V G V H uv 2 E G f u f v 2 E H that is Hom G H is the set of graph homomorphisms from G to H .
