Convergence of probability measures which (asymptotically) concentrate along a submanifold
Let $V : (-1, 1)^d \to \mathbf{R}_+$ be a smooth function, and for $\beta > 0$, define
\begin{align}
P_\beta ( dx ) &= \exp \left( - \beta V ( x ) \right) / z (\beta) \, dx\\
z (\beta) &= \...

Thermodynamic limit and Gaussian measures
Let $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{Z}^{d}$ be finite and fixed and consider $\mathbb{R}^{|\Lambda|}$ be the vector space of all sequences $\varphi = (\varphi_{x})_{x\in \Lambda}$. We equip $\mathbb{R}^{|\...

Measure on a set and its value on $\emptyset$
After my first post here, I have one more doubt which is bothering me. It concerns Minlos's book Introduction to mathematical statistical physics again. To fix the notation, we have $\Lambda \subset \...

Measure, volume and cardinality on Minlos' book on statistical physics
The following content was based on Minlos' book on statistical physics. Let $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$ be fixed (Minlos takes $d=3$ but I think the ideas follow without change to $d \ge 1$). We ...

Grand-canonical Gibbs measure for continuous systems
Let's consider a bounded (maybe compact) set $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$ with particles interacting on it. Suppose, for each $N \in \mathbb{N}$, $U_{N}: (\mathbb{R}^{d})^{N} \to \mathbb{R}\cup \{+...

Imprecise Definition of a $\sigma$-algebra
I'm reading some works on the hierarchical model in statistical mechanics and I came across an strange definition, which I need to clarify. Consider a finite set $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{Z}^{d}$. The ...

On generalisation of Aizenman-Higuchi Theorem
Let $\mathbb Z^2$ denote the two-dimensional integer lattice with norm of $i=(i_1,i_2)$ given by $\|i\|=|i_1|+|i_2|$.
For each $x\in\mathbb Z^2$, we assign a uniform random variable, $\sigma_x$ ...
