Dynamical Gibbs-non-Gibbs transitions for finite-alphabet models on trees

We study finite-alphabet spin models on trees evolving under independent symmetric spin-flip dynamics. On the lattice the time-evolved plus measure of the low temperature Ising model in zero external field was shown to be non-quasilocal for all sufficiently large times in EnFeHoRe02. On the tree however the time-evolved plus phase of the Ising model behaves differently, as the quasilocal Gibbs property is first lost, but then recovered at a later time EnErIaKu12. We first extend this result by showing that large-time reentry into the quasilocal Gibbs regime on the tree happens more generally for all finite alphabet models, when the dynamics is started in f-stable Gibbs states. These are defined in terms of a time-independent sharp condition on the homogeneous recursion f describing the model, which can be checked explicitly. As our second and opposite result, we develop a method for proving large-time persistence of non-quasilocality of time-evolved measures. We show that even all configurations can become bad at large times, when the initial Gibbs measure corresponds to an f-saddle and give an explicit illustration for the Potts model. In our proofs we study the influence of spatially inhomogeneous perturbations to the solutions of a time-dependent fixed point problem.
