Abstract: In this note we consider long range q-states Potts models on mathbfZd, dgeq2. For various families of non-summable ferromagnetic pair potentials phi(x)geq0, we show that there exists, for all inverse temperature , an integer N such that the truncated model, in which all interactions between spins at distance larger than N are suppressed, has at least q distinct infinite-volume Gibbs states. This holds, in particular, for all potentials whose asymptotic behaviour is of the type phi(x)sim|x|−alpha, 0leqalphaleqd. These results are obtained using simple percolation arguments.


For non-summable interactions, infinite-volume Gibbs states and the thermodynamic limit are not defined. The authors study non-summable systems by using a simpler approach of truncation and observe that for any temperature, the measures \(\mu_{\phi N}\) becomes sensitive to boundary conditions once \(N\) is large enough (but finite). They show that this scenario occurs for the ferromagnetic Potts models on \(\mathbb Z^d, d\geq 2\) for the various families of non-summable potentials and prove existence of phase transition.
