Notations
γ denotes a point configuration on Rd (i.e. aninteger-valued measure)δx denotes the Dirac measure at x.For Λ a subset in Rd, we note γΛ the projection of γ on Λ :
γΛ =∑x∈γ∩Λ
δx.
M(Rd) = { γ }π is the Poisson process on Rd.πΛ is the Poisson process on Λ.λ is the Lebesgue measure on Rd.

Gibbs measures
(HΛ)Λ denotes a general family of energy functions :
HΛ : (γΛ, γΛc) 7−→ HΛ(γΛ|γΛc)
There are some minimal conditions on (HΛ)Λ.
DefinitionA probability measure µ is a Gibbs measure if for everybounded Λ and for µ almost every γ
µ(dγΛ|γΛc) ∝ e−HΛ(γΛ|γΛc )πΛ(dγΛ).
If HΛ(γ) = +∞ then γ is forbidden µ a.s.

Hereditary
DefinitionThe family of energies (HΛ)Λ is said hereditary if for every Λ,every γ ∈M(Rd) and every x ∈ Λ
HΛ(γ) = +∞⇒ HΛ(γ + δx) = +∞.
γ is forbidden ⇒ γ + δx is forbiddenγ + δx is allowed ⇒ γ is allowed
It is a standard assumption in classical statistical mechanics.Example : The classical hard ball model is hereditary.

Introduction Definitions Campbell Estimation Simulations
Nguyen-Zessin equilibrium equation
Definition
Let µ be a probability measure onM(Rd). The reduced Campbellmeasure C !µ is defined for all test function f from Rd ×M(Rd)into R by
C !µ(f) = Eµ
(∑x∈γ
f(x, γ − δx)
).
Theorem (Nguyen-Zessin (1979))
Suppose that the energy (HΛ)Λ is hereditary. µ is a Gibbsmeasure if and only if
C!µ(dx, dγ) = e−h(x,γ)λ⊗ µ(dx, dγ).
where h(x, γ) = HΛ(γ + δx)−HΛ(γ).
This theorem is not true in the non-hereditary case.

Definition
Let γ be inM(Rd) and x be a point of γ.x is said removable from γ if
∃Λ such that x ∈ Λ and HΛ(γ − δx) < +∞.
We note R(γ) the set of removable points in γ.

Equilibrium equations for non-hereditary Gibbs measures
Theorem (Dereudre-Lavancier (2007))Let µ be a Gibbs measure,
1Ix∈R(γ+δx)C!µ(dx, dγ) = e
−h(x,γ)λ⊗ µ(dx, dγ). (1)
Remark- If (HΛ)Λ is hereditary, x is always in R(γ + δx).So, (1) becomes equivalent to the Nguyen-Zessin’sequilibrium equation.
- The equation (1) does not characterize the Gibbs measures.
