For H(σ)=∑xy​Jxy​σx​σy​+∑x​hx​σx​ on a finite graph, assume Jxy​≥0. Let U={x:σx​=1,τx​=−1} and W={x:σx​=−1,τx​=1}. The displayed difference is 4∑xy:x∈U,y∈W or conversely​Jxy​: all other edge terms and all field terms cancel. Exponentiating proves the FKG lattice condition and hence positive association of random variables for this Ising model.
