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.
