Hierarchical interfaces in random media. II: The Gibbs measures. (English) Zbl 1101.82317

Summary: We continue the analysis of hierarchical interfaces in random media started in earlier work [A. Bovier and C. Külske, J. Stat. Phys. 69, No. 1–2, 79–110 (1992; Zbl 0893.60071), A. Bovier and P. Picco, J. Stat. Phys. 62, No. 1–2, 177–199 (1991), doi:10.1007/BF01020865]. We show that from the estimates on the renormalized random variables established in that work, it follows that these models possess unique Gibbs states describing mostly flat interfaces in dimension \(D > 3\), if the disorder is weak and the temperature low enough. In the course of the proof we also present very explicit formulas for expectations of local observables.
