On Inhomogeneous $p$-Adic Potts Model on a Cayley Tree

Abstract

We consider a nearest-neighbor inhomogeneous $p$-adic Potts (with $q\ge 2$ spin values) model on the Cayley tree of order $k\ge 1$. The inhomogeneity means that the interaction $J_{xy}$ couplings depend on nearest-neighbors points $x,y$ of the Cayley tree. We study ($p-$ adic) Gibbs measures of the model. We show that (i) if $q\notin p\mathbb{N}$ then there is unique Gibbs measure for any $k\ge 1$ and $\forall J_{xy}$ with $|J_{xy}|<p^{-1/(p-1)}$. (ii) For $q\in p\mathbb{N},p\ge 3$ one can choose $J_{xy}$ and $k\ge 1$ such that there exist at least two Gibbs measures which are translation-invariant.
