Apr 5, 2018 at 5:49 comment added Yvan Velenik The term you are interested in will scale linearly with the number of spins in the system. The exact constant is probably impossible to determine, except in dimensions $1$ and $2$. Note, however, that $\langle H^2\rangle$ scales as the square of the number of spins, so the term you are interested in contributes negligibly to this expectation.

Apr 4, 2018 at 14:57 comment added Yvan Velenik OK, then all the expectations $\langle \sigma_i\sigma_j\sigma_k\sigma_l\rangle$ are strictly positive (as long as $\beta>0$). This follows, for example, from the GKS correlation inequalities. The latter imply that $\langle\sigma_i\sigma_j\sigma_k\sigma_l\rangle \geq \langle\sigma_i\sigma_j\rangle \langle\sigma_k\sigma_l\rangle$. Now, for any $i,j$ neighbors, $\langle\sigma_i\sigma_j\rangle \geq \tanh(\beta J) > 0$ for all $\beta>0$.
Apr 4, 2018 at 14:46 comment added P. C. Spaniel you are right! Sorry for the misunderstunding, I meant that the mean value is zero. Let me edit.
Apr 4, 2018 at 7:12 comment added Yvan Velenik I don't understand the question. What do you mean by "this term is zero"? Each term is a function of the spin configuration, not a number...
