Griffiths inequalities and Gibbs-Bogoliubov inequality for general gauge glasses with Gaussian disorder on Nishimori line

We consider a class of gauge glass models with Gaussian disorder on the Nishimori line, including the Ising spin glass, the $XY$ gauge glass, the $Z_q$ gauge glass, and the gauge-invariant Potts model. We prove that the first and second Griffiths inequalities hold for these models on arbitrary lattice structures. As a consequence, both the pressure and the correlation functions are monotonically increasing with respect to the inverse temperature along the Nishimori line. Furthermore, we establish an analogue of the Gibbs–Bogoliubov inequality for this class of models. This result implies that, on the Nishimori line, the approximate quenched free energy obtained via the replica method with a replica-symmetric mean-field approximation is always greater than the true quenched free energy. Our results provide a broad generalization of previous results established for the Ising spin glass with Gaussian disorder on the Nishimori line.
