Abstract
Considering generalized specifications of stochastic fields on an arbitrary Polish space\((\Omega ,\tau ,\underline{\underline F} )\) as proposed in [Föllmer “Phase Transition and Martin Boundary”, Lect. Not. Math. 465 (1975)] this article deals with the topological description of the set of all specified stochastic fields as a Choquetsimplex which is a well known result in the frame of specifications on the n-dimensional lattice, as usually treated in Statistical Mechanics. However, in our situation the underlying space\((\Omega ,\underline{\underline F} _v )\) where\(\underline{\underline F} _v \) is a subfield of\(\underline{\underline F} \) does not permit a nice topological description. Based on results of generating the field\(\underline{\underline F} _v \) by means of the specification itself we, therefore, introduce a properly chosen equivalence relation which leads to separated topological spaces. This yields the desired description as a direct generalization of the above mentioned results.
