TLDR
In this paper, an elementary proof is given that the statistical mechanical transfer matrix, when symmetric, has a maximum eigenvalue which is non-degenerate and larger than the absolute value of any other eigen value.
Abstract
An elementary proof is given that the statistical mechanical transfer matrix, when symmetric, has a maximum eigenvalue which is non-degenerate and larger than the absolute value of any other eigenvalue. Moreover, the corresponding eigenvector can be chosen so that all its entire entries are strictly positive.
