Tranlation-invariant Gibbs measures for the Hard-Core model with a countable set of spin values

In this paper, we study the Hard Core (HC) model with a countable set mathbb Z of spin values on a Cayley tree of order k=2. This model is defined by a countable set of parameters (that is, the activity function λ_i>0, iin mathbb Z). A functional equation is obtained that provides the consistency condition for finite-dimensional Gibbs distributions. Analyzing this equation, the following results are obtained: Let kgeq 2 and Λ=sum_iλ_i. For Λ=+infty there is no translation-invariant Gibbs measure (TIGM); Let k=2 and Λ<+infty. For the model under constraint such that at G-admissible graph the loops are imposed at two vertices of the graph, the uniqueness of TIGM is proved; Let k=2 and Λ<+infty. For the model under constraint such that at G-admissible graph the loops are imposed at three vertices of the graph, the uniqueness and non-uniqueness conditions of TIGMs are found.
