Such a measure corresponds to a boundary law (a function defined on vertices of the Cayley tree) satisfying a functional equation. In the ferromagnetic SOS case on the binary tree we find up to five solutions to a class of 4-periodic boundary law equations (in particular, some 2-periodic ones). We show that these boundary laws define up to four distinct GGMs. Moreover, we construct some 3-periodic boundary laws on the Cayley tree of arbitrary order k, which define GGMs different from the 4-periodic ones.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-02-13T14:10:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "82B26", "60K35" ], "keywords": [ "cayley tree", "sos model", "countable values", "translation-invariant gradient gibbs measures", "boundary laws define" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
