A remark on Dobrushin's uniqueness theorem (Q1140371)

It is shown that for a lattice system with compact one-point state space and translation invariant interaction, whose ``formal Hamiltonian'' is given by \(H(s) = \sum_X \Phi_X(s)\), \(X\) running through all finite subsets of \(\mathbb Z^d\), the hypothesis of Dobrushin's theorem on the uniqueness of Gibbs measures -- see \textit{R. L. Dobrushin} [Teor. Veroyatn. Primen. 13, 201--229 (1968; Zbl 0177.45202)] is satisfied if \[ \sum_{c\in X} \Vert \Phi_X \Vert\cdot (\vert X\vert - 1) < 1.\]
