Abstract
The time evolution of an open system of infinitely many two-dimensional classical particles is investigated. Particles are interacting by a singular pair potentialU, and each particle is connected to a heat bath of temperatureT. The heat baths are represented by independent white noise forces and Langevin damping terms. Existence of strong solutions to the corresponding infinite system of stochastic differential equations is proved for initial configurations with a logarithmic order of energy fluctuations. Gibbs states forU at temperatureT are invariant under time evolution.
