Consider an infinite dimensional diffusion process process on TZd, where T is the circle, defined by the action of its generator L on C2(TZd) local functions as L f ( η ) = i 𝐙 d 1 2 a i 2 f η i 2 + b i f η i . Assume that the coefficients, ai and bi are smooth, bounded, finite range with uniformly bounded second order partial derivatives, that ai is only a function of η i and that inf i , η a i ( η ) > 0 . Suppose ν is an invariant product measure. Then, if ν is the Lebesgue measure or if d=1,2, it is the unique invariant measure. Furthermore, if ν is translation invariant, then it is the unique invariant, translation invariant measure. Now, consider an infinite particle spin system, with state space {0,1}Zd, defined by the action of its generator on local functions f by L f ( η ) = x 𝐙 d c ( x , η ) ( f ( η x ) - f ( η ) ) , where η x is the configuration obtained from η altering only the coordinate at site x. Assume that c ( x , η ) are of finite range, bounded and that inf x , η c ( x , η ) > 0 . Then, if ν is an invariant product measure for this process, ν is unique when d=1,2. Furthermore, if ν is translation invariant, it is the unique invariant, translation invariant measure. The proofs of these results show how elementary methods can give interesting information for general processes.

Assume that the coefficients, ai and bi are smooth, bounded, finite range with uniformly bounded second order partial derivatives, that ai is only a function of $\eta_i$ and that $\inf_{i,\eta}a_i(\eta)>0$.
