Abstract: We discuss statistical mechanics on nonamenable graphs, and we study the features of the phase transition, which are due to nonamenability. For the Ising model on the usual lattice it is known that below the critical temperature fluctuations of magnetization are much less likely in the states with nonzero magnetic field than in the pure states with zero field. We show that on the Cayley tree the corresponding fluctuations have the same order.

Key words and phrases: Tree, nonamenable graph, Ising model, large deviations, droplet.
