Spatio-temporal chaos. II. Unique Gibbs states for higher-dimensional symbolic systems (Q4037652)

Let us consider the finite set \(Y=\{1,2,\dots,d\}\), equipped with the discrete topology and put \(\Omega=(Y)^{\mathbb{Z}^ n}\), \(n\geq 2\). For any \(x\in\mathbb{Z}^ n\) let \(\tau^ x:\mathbb{Z}^ n\to\mathbb{Z}^ n\) be the translation by \(x\), defined by \(\tau^ x\): \(a\mapsto a+x\) for \(a\in\mathbb{Z}^ n\). This translation defines a \(\mathbb{Z}^ n\)-action on certain subspaces of \(\Omega\). The authors give a definition of a Gibbs state for such action in terms of the Jacobian function defined on the phase space, and prove a sufficient condition for the uniqueness of the Gibbs state. For part I see ibid. 165-200 (1993; see the paper above].
