On positive fixed points of operator of Hammerstein type with degenerate kernel and Gibbs measures

It is known that translation-invariant Gibbs measures of a model with an uncountable set of spin values can be described by positive fixed points of a nonlinear integral operator of Hammerstein type. Significant results have been obtained on positive fixed points of a Hammerstein-type operator with a degenerate kernel, but the existence of Gibbs measures corresponding to the fixed points have not been proved for constructed kernels. We construct new degenerate kernels of the Hammerstein operator in the context of the theory of Gibbs measures, and show that each positive fixed point of the operator gives a translation-invariant Gibbs measure.
