We also introduce a generalized random cluster model, which includes both the Potts model in arbitrary homogeneous external fi elds and the non-integer q random cluster model as special cases. We establish the FKG property, the nite energy condition, uniqueness of the in nite cluster, and Gibbsianness of limit states for this generalized model. Furthermore, we develop the theory of Gibbs states for the Edwards-Sokal representation of the Potts model in a fi eld, and relate the phase structure in this representation to those in the spin and random cluster representations. Finally, we characterize the possible color(s) of the in nite cluster(s) and show that the correspondence between Edwards-Sokal Gibbs states and their random cluster marginals is bijective, once the color of the in nite cluster is fixed.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/gibbs-states-graphical-representations-potts-model-external-fields/}, pages = {1170-1210}, volume = {41}, edition = {Journal of Mathematical Physics}, }
