Abstract

We consider a specific continuous-spin Gibbs distribution μt=0\mu_{t=0} for a double-well potential that allows for ferromagnetic ordering. We study the time-evolution of this initial measure under independent diffusions. For `high temperature' initial measures we prove that the time-evoved measure μt\mu_{t} is Gibbsian for all tt. For `low temperature' initial measures we prove that μt\mu_t stays Gibbsian for small enough times tt, but loses its Gibbsian character for large enough tt. In contrast to the analogous situation for discrete-spin Gibbs measures, there is no recovery of the Gibbs property for large tt in the presence of a non-vanishing external magnetic field. All of our results hold for any dimension d2d\geq 2. This example suggests more generally that time-evolved continuous-spin models tend to be non-Gibbsian more easily than their discrete-spin counterparts.
