| Popis: | In this paper, we revisit Dobrushin's uniqueness theorem for Gibbs measures of lattice systems of interacting particles at thermal equilibrium. In a nutshell, Dobrushin's uniqueness theorem provides a practical way to derive sufficient conditions on the inverse-temperature and model parameters assuring uniqueness of Gibbs measures by reducing the uniqueness problem to a suitable estimate of the Wasserstein distance between pairs of 1-point Gibbs measures with different boundary conditions. After proving a general result of completeness for the Wasserstein distance, we reformulate Dobrushin's uniqueness theorem in a convenient form for lattice systems of interacting particles described by Hamiltonians that are not necessarily translation-invariant and with a general complete metric space as single-spin space. Subsequently, we give a series of applications. After proving a uniqueness result at high temperature that we extend to the Ising and Potts models, we focus on classical lattice systems for which the local Gibbs measures are convex perturbations of Gaussian measures. We show that uniqueness holds at all temperatures by constructing suitable couplings with the 1-point Gibbs measures as marginals. The decay of correlation functions is also discussed.
