Abstract
We give a complete description of the set of periodic Gibbs states at low temperatures for classical spin systems with arbitrary ferromagnetic, finite-range, interactions and fairly general even single-spin distribution of compact support on R. This extends results of Holsztynski and Slawny for the spin-1/2 case. The extension is based on recent ferromagnetic inequalities and low-temperature expansions.
