Abstract: We consider two-dimensional marked point processes which are Gibbsian with a two-body-potential U. U is supposed to have an internal continuous symmetry. We show that under suitable continuity conditions the considered processes are invariant under the given symmetry. We will achieve this by using Ruelle`s superstability estimates and percolation arguments.

Review text

The Gibbs measure and Gibbsian point processes are the prinicipal theoretical tools in modeling of equilibrium states in statistical physics. The existence and uniqueness of Gibbs measures related to a given potential are of primary importance. It is known that the non-uniqueness of the Gibbs measure can be interpreted as a certain kind of a phase transition, occuring whenever a symmetry of the potential is broken. If, on the contrary, the symmetry is conserved, the Mermin-Wagner theorem assures about the absence of ordering (hence of a corresponding phase transition) in a system. The paper aims at demonstrating the conservation of continuous symmetries in a thermodynamical system of point particles on a plane, equipped with internal degrees of freedom (spin) and interacting pairwise by means of a suitable superstable potential. Under equilibrium conditions, an active research was concentrated on lattice systems. Only recently the existence of a continuous symmetry has been established for two-dimensional lattice models with continuous singular interaction. The major result of the present paper, obtained by menas of superstability techniques and percolation arguments, is an extension of \textit{D. Ioffe, S. Shlosman} and \textit{Y. Velenik} [Commun. Math. Phys. 226, 433--454 (2002; Zbl 0990.82004)] argument from a lattice to a continuous model.
