We consider a general class of spin systems with potentially unbounded real-valued spins, defined via a single-site potential with super-Gaussian tails on general graphs, allowing for both short- and long-range interactions. This class…

Bayesian inference of Gibbs random fields (GRFs) is often referred to as a doubly intractable problem, since the likelihood function is intractable. The exploration of the posterior distribution of such models is typically carried out with…

Gibbsian structure in random point fields has been a classical tool for studying their spatial properties. However, exact Gibbs property is available only in a relatively limited class of models, and it does not adequately address many…

Gibbs random fields corresponding to systems of real-valued spins (e.g. systems of interacting anharmonic oscillators) indexed by the vertices of unbounded degree graphs with a certain summability property are constructed. It is proven that…

We investigate perfect matchings and essential spanning forests in planar hyperbolic graphs via circle packings. We prove the existence of nonconstant harmonic Dirichlet functions that vanish in a closed set of the boundary, generalizing a…

The paper concerns the $q$-state Potts model (i.e., with spin values in $\{1,\dots,q\}$) on a Cayley tree $\mathbb{T}^k$ of degree $k\geq 2$ (i.e., with $k+1$ edges emanating from each vertex) in an external (possibly random) field. We…

Height-offset variables (HOVs) provide a mechanism, known as "pinning at infinity", to lift gradient Gibbs measures (GGMs) - describing interface increments - to proper Gibbs measures that describe absolute heights. Starting from…

We establish the large deviation principle for a topological Markov shift over infinite alphabet which satisfies strong combinatorial assumptions called ``finite irreducibility'' or ``finite primitiveness''. More precisely, we assume the…

Focusing on stochastic systems arising in mean-field models, the systems under consideration belong to the class of switching diffusions, in which continuous dynamics and discrete events coexist and interact. The discrete events are modeled…

We are interested in Sobolev type inequalities and their relationship with concentration properties on higher dimensions. We consider unbounded spin systems on the d-dimensional lattice with interactions that increase slower than a…

We prove rigorously that the ferromagnetic Ising model on any nonamenable Cayley graph undergoes a continuous (second-order) phase transition in the sense that there is a unique Gibbs measure at the critical temperature. The proof of this…

We focus on the log-Sobolev inequality for spin systems on the lattice with interactions of higher order than quadratic. We show that if the one-dimensional single-site measure with boundaries satisfies the log-Sobolev inequality uniformly…

Mathematical models in equilibrium statistical mechanics describe physical systems with many particles interacting with an external force and with one another. Gibbs measure is a fundamental concept in this theory. In existing literature…
