Gibbs and Ruelle measures are reviewed and the definition of the Dirichlet form given by the intrinsic gradient on configuration space is recalled. In the free and Ruelle cases it is proved that almost surely the associated diffusion process \((X_t)_{t\in {\mathbb R}}\) does not hit the set of configurations with more than one mass at any given point. Global properties are also considered, namely it is shown in the free case that almost surely the number of particles in \(X_t\) remains constant in time, under exponential growth conditions on the intensity measure, and in the Ruelle case that this number remains infinite for sufficiently small value of the activity parameter. Finally a property on the growth of the number of particles in \(X_t\) is obtained in the free case. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0937.00066].
