Abstract

We consider the two-dimensional Ising model with long-range pair interactions of the form JxyxyαJ_{xy}\sim|x-y|^{-\alpha} with α>2\alpha>2, mostly when Jxy0J_{xy} \geq 0. We show that Dobrushin states (i.e. extremal non-translation-invariant Gibbs states selected by mixed ±\pm-boundary conditions) do not exist. We discuss possible extensions of this result in the direction of the Aizenman-Higuchi theorem, or concerning fluctuations of interfaces. We also mention the existence of rigid interfaces in two long-range anisotropic contexts.
