Abstract
Lattice models (on a hypercubic lattice of dimension larger than or equal to three) with spins attaining a finite number of values and finite-range interactions at low temperatures are considered. The existence of rigid interfaces as well as of surface tension under appropriate conditions is proven and the properties of corresponding Gibbs states are investigated.
