Abstract

We prove the existence of infinite-volume quermass-interaction processes in a general setting of nonlocally stable interaction and nonbounded convex grains. No condition on the parameters of the linear combination of the Minkowski functionals is assumed. The only condition is that the square of the random radius of the grain admits exponential moments for all orders. Our methods are based on entropy and large deviation tools.
