Uniqueness of the Gibbs measure for the anti-ferromagnetic Potts model on the infinite Δ-regular tree for large Δ
In this paper we prove that for any integer q≥ 5, the anti-ferromagnetic q-state Potts model on the infinite Δ-regular tree has a unique Gibbs measure for all edge interaction parameters w∈ [1-q/Δ,1), provided Δ is large enough. This confirms a longstanding folklore conjecture.
