Abstract

A classical lattice gas model with translation-invariant, finite-range competing interactions, for which there does not exist an equivalent translation-invariant, finite-range nonfrustrated potential, is constructed. The construction uses the structure of nonperiodic ground-state configurations of the model. In fact, the model does not have any periodic ground-state configurations. However, its ground-state—a translation-invariant probability measure supported by ground-state configurations—is unique.
