Convergence of Gibbs measures and the behavior of shrinking tubular neighborhoods of fractals and algebraic sets

Annealing is a physical process that motivates our definition of a Gibbs measure, which is a certain probability measure on Euclidean space. In this paper we examine a sequence of Gibbs measures characterized by the distance function. In Chapter 2 we conclude that the sequence of measures converge t...
