Abstract: We extend the construction by Kuelske and Iacobelli of metastates in finite-state mean-field models in independent disorder to situations where the local disorder terms are are a sample of an external ergodic Markov chain in equilibrium. We show that for non-degenerate Markov chains, the structure of the theorems is analogous to the case of i.i.d. variables when the limiting weights in the metastate are expressed with the aid of a CLT for the occupation time measure of the chain. As a new phenomenon we also show in a Potts example that, for a degenerate non-reversible chain this CLT approximation is not enough and the metastate can have less symmetry than the symmetry of the interaction and a Gaussian approximation of disorder fluctuations would suggest.

Review text

The authors continue to analyze a class of mean-field systems, moving from a situation where the quenched disorder was assumed to be independent identically distributed [\textit{G. Iacobelli} and \textit{C. Külske}, J. Stat. Phys. 140, No. 1, 27--55 (2010; Zbl 1193.82020)] to a situation where the disorder is generated by a Markov chain. It is proved that for non-degenerate Markov chains, the structure of the theorems is analogous to the case of i.i.d. variables. New phenomena appear when the Markov chains are degenerate.
