A REMARK ON DIFFERENTIABILITY OF THE PRESSURE FUNCTIONAL

Abstract

We give a short review of results on equilibrium description and description by stochastic dynamics for spin systems on a lattice. We remark also that some coercive inequalities for the generators of stochastic dynamics, as e.g. the Logarithmic Sobolev inequality, can be used in a direct and natural way to prove strong differentiability properties of the pressure functional for lattice spin systems with multiparticle interactions at high temperatures. Motivated by this, we exhibit also a class of examples of multiparticle interactions which do not belong to the space [Formula: see text] of spin interactions, but for which the Gibbs measures exist and are unique at high temperatures.
