Existence, properties, and parametric inference for possibly hyperuniform Gibbs perturbed lattices
This work lies at the intersection of Gibbs models and hyperuniform point processes. Classical Gibbs models, whether defined on lattices or in continuous space, provide flexible tools to describe interacting particle systems but are generally not hyperuniform. Conversely, known hyperuniform models such as the Ginibre process or perturbed lattices lack flexibility and typically cannot enforce physically relevant constraints such as hard-core interactions. We introduce a new class of models, termed Gibbs perturbed lattice models, which preserve a lattice structure while allowing interactions through a Hamiltonian defined on the perturbed particle locations. We establish existence results for the associated Gibbs measures, derive DLR-type equilibrium equations, and show that some models in this class exhibit hyperuniformity. Finally, we propose statistical inference methods based on the Takacs-Fiksel type approach and prove their asymptotic properties.
