Weakly gibbsian measures for lattice spin systems

Abstract

We present a weaker notion of Gibbs measures by requiring that only an almost everywhere absolutely summable potential is given. This has recently appeared in the context “Gibbsian versus non-Gibbsian measures”. We give a first exploration of the main features of this weaker notion. We concentrate on the questions of where do weakly Gibbsian measures appear and what remains of their thermodynamic description
