For SFTs, any equilibrium measure is Gibbs, as long a $f$ has $d$-summable variation. This is a theorem of Lanford and Ruelle. Conversely, a theorem of Dobru{\v{s}}in states that for strongly-irreducible subshifts, shift-invariant…

This paper deals with Coulomb gases at an intermediate temperature regime. We define a local empirical field and identify a critical temperature scaling. We show that if the scaling of the temperature is supercritical, the local empirical…
