A Markov process for a continuum infinite particle system with attraction (Q6164910)

This extensive study focuses on an infinite system of point particles placed in \(\mathbb{R}^d\), where the particles are of two types; they perform random walks in the course of which those of distinct type repel each other. The interaction of this kind induces an effective multi-body attraction of the same type particles, which leads to the multiplicity of states of thermal equilibrium in such systems. The pure states of the system are locally finite counting measures on \(\mathbb{R}^d\). The paper consists of 9 sections. After the introduction, the authors collect the notations in Section 2, then in Section 3 they introduce the main ingredients of their construction, among which, roughly speaking, are: the spaces of tempered configurations, the basic classes of bounded continuous functions on these configurations and the set of sub-Poissonian measures. In Section 4 the assumptions concerning the properties of the involved parameters that describe the life of particle system, are formulated, the corresponding spaces of càdlàg paths and the very notion of a solution of the restricted initial value martingale problem for the model are introduced, and the main result is formulated, followed by a number of comments. The remaining sections are dedicated to the proof of the main theorem. In particular, it is proved that the martingale problem can have at most one solution. The evolution of states is obtained by constructing stochastic semigroups acting in the Banach space of signed measures on the space of configurations.
