Talk:Gibbs state

Actually what is given here is not the definition of a Gibbs state, even though stationary distributions of a Markov chain often turn out to be Gibbsian. A gibbs state is particular type of random field with a kind of generalized Markovian structure. A definition of a Gibbs measure (in the case of lattice models) is given on the page on "Gibbs random fields". I think that there should be a single page for "Gibbs state", "Gibbs measure", "Gibbs random field" (and others ?), as these terms are all used interchangeably.


 * Yes this page should definitely redirect to the page on Gibbs measure which (although far from good) is much better. I would do it, but I don't know how to redirect a page... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Velenik (talk • contribs) 19:09, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
