Abstract
We study a new model, the so-called Ising ball model on a Cayley tree of order k ≥ 2. We show that there exists a critical activity \(\lambda _{cr} = \sqrt[4]{{0.064}}\) such that at least one translation-invariant Gibbs measure exists for λ ≥ λ cr , at least three translation-invariant Gibbs measures exist for 0 < λ < λ cr , and for some λ, there are five translation-invariant Gibbs measures and a continuum of Gibbs measures that are not translation invariant. For any normal divisor \(\hat G\) of index 2 of the group representation on the Cayley tree, we study \(\hat G\)-periodic Gibbs measures. We prove that there exists an uncountable set of \(\hat G\)-periodic (not translation invariant and “checkerboard” periodic) Gibbs measures.
