Abstract

We consider translation-invariant splitting Gibbs measures (TISGMs) for the q-state Potts model on a Cayley tree of order two. Recently a full description of the TISGMs was obtained, and it was shown in particular that at sufficiently low temperatures their number is \(2^{q}-1\). In this paper for each TISGM \(\mu \) we explicitly give the set of boundary conditions such that limiting Gibbs measures with respect to these boundary conditions coincide with \(\mu \).

Notes

  1. Adding a boundary field at each site of the boundary is called a generalized boundary condition [3] or boundary law [6].

  2. The sum in the RHS of \(c^l(\omega )\) is taken over all direct successors of t, it should not be confused with the sum over all neighbors of t, i.e., \(\sum _{s:\langle t,s\rangle }\).

  3. This remark and some examples below are added corresponding to a suggestion of a reviewer.
