5.3.2 Proof of the bound on A

We prove 5.2 for d 4 and 5.4 for d ≤ 4 simultaneously, using Lemmas 5.3 and 5.7–5.8.
As in Section 2.4, we will frequently use 2.68: X

. 5.79
where we recall max
i ∈I
t

≤ T log T for d ≤ 4. For simplicity, let I = {1, . . . , i}. Then, 5.79 is an easy consequence of Lemma 5.3:

First we prove 5.2, for which d 4, for N ≥ 1. By Lemma 5.8, we have

Note that the number of lines contained in each diagram for P

is bounded, say, by L , due to its construction. Therefore, by Lemmas 5.3 and 5.7, we obtain

and further that X

where we note that 1 + s ∨ t

= 1 + min{max{s, t

}, so that the order of operations is naturally first ‘

{s,~t

} by ¯s

, we have X

where the combinatorial factor

into 5.81 and using 5.79, we obtain that, since d − 22 1,

. This proves 5.2 for N ≥ 1.
To prove 5.4, for which d ≤ 4, for N ≥ 1, we simply replace Oβ
N
in 5.84 by O β
T
O ˆ β

using Lemma 5.7ii instead of Lemma 5.7i. Then, we use the factor β

This completes the proof of 5.4 for N ≥ 1.
Next we consider the case of N = 0. Similarly to the above computation, the contribution from the latter sum in 5.68 over z
6= v = o in the current setting equals ǫOβ1 + ¯t
r −3
for d 4 and
ǫO ˆ β
T
1+¯t
r −3
for d ≤ 4. It remains to estimate the contribution from P{o −→ ~x
I
}◦{o −→ ~x
J \I
} in 5.68.
If ǫ is large e.g., ǫ = 1, then we simply use the BK inequality to obtain
P {o −→ ~x
I
} ◦ {o −→ ~x
J \I
} ≤ τ~x
I
τ~x

Therefore, by 5.79, we have X

≤ O 1 + ¯t

. 5.88
If ǫ ≪ 1, then we should be more careful. Since {o −→ ~x
I
} and {o −→ ~x
J \I
} occur bond-disjointly,
and since there is only one temporal bond growing out of o, there must be a nonempty subset I
′
of I or J
\ I and a spatial bond b with b = o such that {b −→ ~x
I
′
} ◦ {o −→ ~x
J \I

} occurs. Then, by the BK inequality and 5.79, we obtain

This completes the proof of 5.2 for d 4 and 5.4 for d ≤ 4.
