Uniqueness of the stationary distribution for attractive spin systems in a unique stationary environment
Let the background process have a unique stationary distribution. For each environment state , let be the flip rate at site for configuration . Uniqueness conjecture. If
for all , , and , then the two extremal stationary distributions coincide:
This is proposed as an analogue of Gray's theorem for spin systems without a background process, which gives uniqueness under strict positivity of the rates. The statement concerns whether the same positivity condition ensures uniqueness when the environment evolves randomly.
