2 Two hard core models
2.1 Globules model
We want to construct a model for interacting globules. Each globule is spherical with random radius oscillating between a minimum and a maximum value. Its center is a point in R
d
, d ≥ 2. The
number n of globules is fixed. Globules configurations will be denoted by
x = x

n
∈ R where x
i
is the center of the i
th
globule and ˘ x
i
is its radius. An allowed globules configuration is a configuration
x satisfying
∀i r

So, in an allowed configuration, spheres do not intersect and their radii are bounded from below by the minimum value r
