Dobrushin-Kotecký-Shlosman theorem for polygonal Markov fields in the plane (Q2506283)

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.
