Explicit estimates in the Bramson-Kalikow model

Probability 2014-10-31 v2

Abstract

The aim of the present article is to explicitly compute parameters for which the Bramson-Kalikow model exhibits phase-transition. The main ingredient of the proof is a simple new criterion for non-uniqueness of gg-measures. We show that the existence of multiple gg-measures compatible with a function gg can be proved by estimating the dˉ\bar{d}-distances between some suitably chosen Markov chains. The method is optimal for the important class of binary regular attractive functions, which includes the Bramson-Kalikow model.

Comments

The title in the previous version has an error. We also changed the structure of the article so that the main result now is the explicit criterion for phase transition of the BK process. The new title reflects this change
