Gradient Gibbs models with non-convex potentials (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
A motivation for gradient Gibbs measures in the study of macroscopic elasticity and in proving the Cauchy-Born rule will be explained. Results concerning strict convexity of the free energy will be formulated and discussed. Based on joint works with S. Adams and S. Mueller and with S. Luckhaus.
