Gibbs measures of disordered lattice systems with unbounded spins

Abstract: The Gibbs measures of a spin system on

Z^{d}

with unbounded pair interactions

J_{x y} s i g m a (x) s i g m a (y)

are studied. Here

l a n g l e x, y a n g l e i n E

, i.e.

x

and

y

are neighbors in

Z^{d}

. The intensities

J_{x y}

and the spins

s i g m a (x), s i g m a (y)

are arbitrary real. To control their growth we introduce appropriate sets

J_{q} s u b s e t R^{E}

and

S_{p} s u b s e t R^{Z^{d}}

and prove that for every

J = (J_{x y}) i n J_{q}

: (a) the set of Gibbs measures

G_{p} (J) = m u : s o l v e s D L R, m u (S_{p}) = 1

is non-void and weakly compact; (b) each

m u i n G_{p} (J)

obeys an integrability estimate, the same for all

m u

. Next we study the case where

J_{q}

is equipped with a norm, with the Borel

s i g m a

-field

B (J_{q})

, and with a complete probability measure

u

. We show that the set-valued map

J m a p s t o G_{p} (J)

is measurable and hence there exist measurable selections

J_{q} i J m a p s t o m u (J) i n G_{p} (J)

, which are random Gibbs measures. We prove that the empirical distributions

N^{- 1} s u m_{n = 1}^{N} p i_{D e l t a_{n}} (c d o t | J, x i)

, obtained from the local conditional Gibbs measures

p i_{D e l t a_{n}} (c d o t | J, x i)

and from exhausting sequences of

D e l t a_{n} s u b s e t Z^{d}

, have

u

-a.s. weak limits as

N i g h t a r r o w + i n f t y

, which are random Gibbs measures. Similarly, we prove the existence of the

u

-a.s. weak limits of the empirical metastates

N^{- 1} s u m_{n = 1}^{N} d e l t a_{p i_{D e l t a_{n}} (c d o t | J, x i)}

, which are Aizenman-Wehr metastates. Finally, we prove the existence of the limiting thermodynamic pressure under some further conditions on

u

.
