We show how decimated Gibbs measures which have an unbroken continuous symmetry due to the Mermin-Wagner theorem, although their discrete equivalents have a phase transition, still can become non-Gibbsian. The mechanism rests on the…

We study the decimation to a sublattice of half the sites, of the one-dimensional Dyson-Ising ferromagnet with slowly decaying long-range pair interactions of the form $\frac{1}{{|i-j|}^{\alpha}}$, in the phase transition region (1< $\alpha…

We consider one-dimensional long-range spin models (usually called Dyson models), consisting of Ising ferromagnets with slowly decaying long-range pair potentials of the form $\frac{1}{|i-j|^{\alpha}}$ mainly focusing on the range of slow…

We study the one-dimensional projection of the extremal Gibbs measures of the two-dimensional Ising model, the "Schonmann projection". These measures are known to be non-Gibbsian at low temperatures, since their conditional probabilities as…

We strengthen a result of two of us on the existence of effective interactions for discretised continuous-spin models. We also point out that such an interaction cannot exist at very low temperatures. Moreover, we compare two ways of…

We consider polynomial long-range Ising models in one dimension, with ferromagnetic pair interactions decaying with power $2-\alpha$ (for $0 \leq \alpha < 1$), and prepared with randomly chosen boundary conditions. We show that at low…

In this paper, we detail and complete the existing characterizations of the decimation of the Ising model on $\Z^2$ in the generalized Gibbs context. We first recall a few features of the Dobrushin program of restoration of Gibbsianness and…

We consider Ising-spin systems starting from an initial Gibbs measure $\nu$ and evolving under a spin-flip dynamics towards a reversible Gibbs measure $\mu\not=\nu$. Both $\nu$ and $\mu$ are assumed to have a finite-range interaction. We…

We consider gradient models on the lattice $Z^d$. These models serve as effective models for interfaces and are also known as continuous Ising models. The height of the interface is modelled by a random field with an energy which is a…

We show that decimation transformations applied to high-$q$ Potts models result in non-Gibbsian measures even for temperatures higher than the transition temperature. We also show that majority transformations applied to the Ising model in…

We show that whenever the Gibbs state of a quantum spin system satisfies decay of correlations, then it is stable, in the sense that local perturbations affect the Gibbs state only locally, and it satisfies local indistinguishability, i.e.…

We study a hierarchical model of non-overlapping cubes of sidelengths $2^j$, $j \in \mathbb{Z}$. The model allows for cubes of arbitrarily small size and the activities need not be translationally invariant. It can also be recast as a spin…

We consider planar rotors (XY spins) in $\mathbb{Z}^d$, starting from an initial Gibbs measure and evolving with infinite-temperature stochastic (diffusive) dynamics. At intermediate times, if the system starts at low temperature,…

We consider disordered lattice spin models with finite volume Gibbs measures $\mu_{\L}[\eta](d\s)$. Here $\s$ denotes a lattice spin-variable and $\eta$ a lattice random variable with product distribution $\P$ describing the disorder of the…

We consider a specific continuous-spin Gibbs distribution $\mu_{t=0}$ for a double-well potential that allows for ferromagnetic ordering. We study the time-evolution of this initial measure under independent diffusions. For `high…

This paper considers a non-standard problem of generating samples from a low-temperature Gibbs distribution with \emph{constrained} support, when some of the coordinates of the mode lie on the boundary. These coordinates are referred to as…

We study a one--dimensional Ising spin systems with ferromagnetic, long--range interaction decaying as $n^{-2+\a}$, $\a \in [0,\frac 12]$, in the presence of external random fields. We assume that the random fields are given by a collection…

We consider the two-dimensional Ising model with long-range pair interactions of the form $J_{xy}\sim|x-y|^{-\alpha}$ with $\alpha>2$, mostly when $J_{xy} \geq 0$. We show that Dobrushin states (i.e. extremal non-translation-invariant Gibbs…

We consider a general class of two-dimensional spin systems, with continuous but not necessarily smooth, possibly long-range, $O(N)$-symmetric interactions, for which we establish algebraically decaying upper bounds on spin-spin…

Magnetic properties of the 1D mixed spin-1/2 and spin-S (S >1/2) transverse Ising model in the presence of an external longitudinal magnetic field are calculated exactly by the use of the generalised decoration-iteration mapping…
