Abstract

top
We answer some questions raised by Gantert, Löwe and Steif (Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré Probab. Stat.41(2005) 767–780) concerning “signed” voter models on locally finite graphs. These are voter model like processes with the difference that the edges are considered to be either positive or negative. If an edge between a site x and a site y is negative (respectively positive) the site y will contribute towards the flip rate of x if and only if the two current spin values are equal (respectively opposed).
