Localization of translation-invariant Gibbs measures for the Potts and “solid-on-solid” models on a Cayley tree

Abstract

We study Potts and “solid-on-solid” models with q ≥ 2 states on the Cayley tree of order k ≥ 1. For any values of the parameter q in the Potts model and q ≤ 6 in the “solid-on-solid” model, we find sets containing all translation-invariant Gibbs measures.
