Dobrushin-Kotecký-Shlosman theorem for polygonal Markov fields in the plane (Q2506283): Difference between revisions

The purpose of this paper is to show that, in analogy with the Ising model, the phase separation phenomenon is present for length-interacting polygonal Markov fields and it is gouverned by the Wulff constraction [\textit{T. Bodineau, D. Ioffe} and \textit{I. Velenik}, Rigorous probabilistic analysis of equilibrium crystal shapes. J. Math. Phys. 41, 1033-1098 (2000; Zbl 0977.82013)]. The author considers the so-called length-interacting Arak-Surgailis polygonal Markov fields with \( V \)-shaped nodes -- a continuum and isometry invariant process in the plane sharing a number of properties with the two-dimensional Ising model. It is established a low-temperature phase separation theorem in the spirit of the Dobrushin-Kotecky-Shlosman theory, with the corresponding Wulff shape determined to be a disk due to the rotation invariant nature of the considered model.
