THE WIDOM-ROWLINSON MODEL UNDER SPIN FLIP: IMMEDIATE LOSS AND SHARP RECOVERY OF QUASILOCALITY

We consider the continuum Widom-Rowlinson model under independent spin-flip dynamics and investigate whether and when the time-evolved point process has an (almost) quasilocal specification (Gibbs-property of the time-evolved measure). Our study provides a first analysis of a Gibbs-non-Gibbs transition for point particles in Euclidean space. We find a picture of loss and recovery, in which even more regularity is lost faster than it is for time-evolved spin models on lattices. We show immediate loss of quasilocality in the percolation regime, with full measure of discontinuity points for any specification. For the color-asymmetric percolating model, there is a transition from this non-almostsure quasilocal regime back to an everywhere Gibbsian regime. At the sharp reentrance time t(G) > 0, the model is a.s. quasilocal. For the color-symmetric model, there is no reentrance. On the constructive side, for all t > t(G), we provide everywhere quasilocal specifications for the time-evolved measures and give precise exponential estimates on the influence of boundary condition.
