Abstract

A classical lattice gas model with two-body nearest neighbor interactions and without periodic ground-state configurations is presented. The main result is the existence of a decreasing sequence of temperatures for which the Gibbs states have arbitrarily long periods. It is possible that the sequence accumulates at nonzero temperature, giving rise to a quasiperiodic equilibrium state.
