Conjecture on decomposing admissible pair potentials
Conjecture on decomposing admissible pair potentials
Let be an admissible pair potential on . A Ruelle potential is one admitting a decomposition
where is non-negative and tempered, while is stable and absolutely integrable.
Ruelle-potential decomposition conjecture. Any stable and tempered pair potential can always be written as a sum of a non-negative potential plus an absolutely summable stable potential.
The paper presents this as a weaker replacement for Ruelle's disproved conjecture: the positive-definiteness requirement on the second summand is removed. The supplied text gives no resolution of this weaker conjecture.
