Decorrelation of a class of Gibbs particle processes and asymptotic properties of $$U$$-statistics. (English) Zbl 1457.60066
Summary: We study a stationary Gibbs particle process with deterministically bounded particles on Euclidean space defined in terms of an activity parameter and non-negative interaction potentials of finite range. Using disagreement percolation, we prove exponential decay of the correlation functions, provided a dominating Boolean model is subcritical. We also prove this property for the weighted moments of a $$U$$-statistic of the process. Under the assumption of a suitable lower bound on the variance, this implies a central limit theorem for such $$U$$-statistics of the Gibbs particle process. A by-product of our approach is a new uniqueness result for Gibbs particle processes.
