Abstract: We pursue two goals in this article. As our first goal, we construct a family mathcalMG of Gibbs like measures on the set of piecewise linear convex functions g:mathbbR2omathbbR. It turns out that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the gradient of such convex functions and extitLaguerretessellations. Each cell in a Laguerre tessellation is a convex polygon that is marked by a vector hoinmathbbR2. Each measure ufinmathcalMG in our family is uniquely characterized by a kernel f(x,ho−,ho+), which represents the rate at which a line separating two cells associated with marks ho− and ho+ passes through x. To construct our measures, we give a precise recipe for the law of the restriction of our tessellation to a box. This recipe involves a boundary condition, and a dynamical description of our random tessellation inside the box. As we enlarge the box, the consistency of these random tessellations requires that the kernel satisfies a suitable kinetic like PDE. As our second goal, we study the invariance of the set mathcalMG with respect to the dynamics of such Hamilton-Jacobi PDEs. In particular we extitconjecture the invariance of a suitable subfamily widehatmathcalMG of mathcalMG. More precisely, we expect that if the initial slope ux(cdot,0) is selected according to a measure ufinwidehatmathcalMG, then at a later time the law of ux(cdot,t) is given by a measure uThetat(f)inwidehatmathcalMG, for a suitable kernel Thetat(f). As we vary t, the kernel Thetat(f) must satisfy a suitable kinetic equation. We remark that the function u is also piecewise linear convex function in (x,t), and its law is an example of a Gibbs-like measure on the set of Laguerre tessellations of certain convex subsets of mathbbR3.
