Phase transition for continuum Widom-Rowlinson model with random radii

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: In this paper we study the phase transition of continuum Widom-Rowlinson measures in mathbbRd with q types of particles and random radii. Each particle xi of type i is marked by a random radius ri distributed by a probability measure Qi on mathbbR+. The particles of same type do not interact each other whereas particles xi and xj with different type ieqj interact via an exclusion hardcore interaction forcing ri+rj to be smaller than |xixj|. In the integrable case (i.e. intrdQi(dr)<+infty, 1leileq), we show that the Widom-Rowlinson measures exhibit a standard phase transition providing uniqueness, when the activity is small, and co-existence of q ordered phases, when the activity is large. In the non-integrable case (i.e. intrdQi(dr)=+infty, 1leileq), we show another type of phase transition. We prove, when the activity is small, the existence of at least q+1 extremal phases and we conjecture that, when the activity is large, only the q ordered phases subsist. We prove a weak version of this conjecture by showing that the symmetric Widom-Rowlinson measure with free boundary condition is a mixing of the q ordered phases if and only if the activity is large.
