Gibbsian representation for point processes via hyperedge potentials

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider marked point processes on the d-dimensional euclidean space, defined in terms of a quasilocal specification based on marked Poisson point processes. We investigate the possibility of constructing absolutely-summable Hamiltonians in terms of hyperedge potentials in the sense of Georgii et al. These potentials are a natural generalization of physical multi-body potentials which are useful in models of stochastic geometry. We prove that such representations can be achieved, under appropriate locality conditions of the specification. As an illustration we also provide such potential representations for the Widom-Rowlinson model under independent spin-flip time-evolution. Our paper draws a link between the abstract theory of point processes in infinite volume, the study of measures under transformations, and statistical mechanics of systems of point particles.


In this perfect paper, the authors are interested in the Euclidean space \(\mathbb{R}^{d}\) with \(d\geq 1\) equipped with its Borel-\(\sigma\)-algebra. The authors setup Gibbsian point processes via Poisson specifications along the lines of \(\lambda\)-specifications for models on fixed geometries as in literature. They give a definition of Gibbs point processes via the Dobrushin-Lanford-Ruelle (DLR) equation. The notion of hyperedge potentials is discussed. Under given conditions, the authors prove that there exists a unique vacuum potential \(\Phi\) on the hypergraph structure \(\mathcal{\overline{E}}^k\) which represents \(\rho\). Moreover, if \(\rho\) is vacuum uniformly log-quasilocal, then the potential \(\Phi\) is uniformly convergent. Let \(\rho\) be a vacuum uniformly log-quasilocal \(\Omega^{*}\)-pre-modification. The authors prove that there exists a representation of \(\rho\) via an absolutely summable potential with uniform finite-horizon property. Also, under given conditions, the authors prove that there exists a representation of \(\rho\) via a translation-invariant absolutely summable potential with uniform finite-horizon property. The authors deal with the potentials for a time-evolved Widom-Rowlinson Model (WRM) such as the vacuum potential for the time-evolved WRM. They examine existence of absolutely summable potentials and existence of absolutely summable translation-invariant potentials. The authors explain that in the Gibbsian regimes there is always a natural hyperedge potential. In the last section, the authors provide the proofs.
