Redig F.,Maes C., Van Moffaert A. Almost Gibbsian versus Weakly Gibbsian measures (355K, Postscript) ABSTRACT. We consider various extensions of the standard definition of Gibbs states for lattice spin systems. When a random field has conditional distributions which are almost surely continuous (almost Gibbsian field), then there is a potential for that field which is almost surely summable (weakly Gibbsian field). This generalizes the standard Kozlov-Sullivan theorems. The converse is not true in general. We give (counter)examples illustrating the relation between topological and measure-theoretic aspects of generalized Gibbs definitions.
