Zero-temperature phase diagram for double-well type potentials in the summable variation class

We study the zero-temperature limit of the Gibbs measures of a class of long-range potentials on a full shift of two symbols $\{0,1\}$. These potentials were introduced by Walters as a natural space for the transfer operator. In our case, they are locally constant, Lipschitz continuous or, more generally, of summable variation. We assume there exists exactly two ground states: the fixed points $0^{\mathrm{\infty }}$ and $1^{\mathrm{\infty }}$. We fully characterize, in terms of the Peierls barrier between the two ground states, the zero-temperature phase diagram of such potentials, that is, the regions of convergence or divergence of the Gibbs measures as the temperature goes to zero.
