The investigation of Bogoliubov functionals by operator methods of moment problem (Q2822223)

Let \(X\) be a Riemannian manifold, \(C_{\text{fin}}^\infty (X)\) be the space of real-valued functions with compact supports on \(X\). The Bogoliubov functionals \(B(\varphi)\) appearing in continuum models of statistical mechanics are defined as the mapping NEWLINE\[NEWLINE C_{\text{fin}}^\infty (X)\ni \varphi \mapsto B(\varphi)=\int\limits_\Gamma \prod\limits_{x\in \gamma}(1+\varphi (x))\,d\sigma (\gamma)\tag{1} NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(\sigma\) is a probability measure on the space \(\Gamma\) of finite and infinite configurations on \(X\).NEWLINENEWLINEThe authors consider (1) as an analog of the classical moment problem and use methods of the spectral theory of operators to find conditions under which a sequence of nonlinear functionals is a sequence of Bogoliubov functionals. This includes a new approach to constructing measures on \(\Gamma\). In the authors' words, the starting point for the methods of this paper is the article by \textit{Y. M. Berezansky} et al. [Methods Funct. Anal. Topol. 5, No. 4, 87--100 (1999; Zbl 0955.60050)].
