\title{Setup}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item {\it Type} of a plate: $q\in\{1,2,3\}$.
    \item (Grand-canonical) Gibbs average, in a box $\Lambda$, with $q$-boundary conditions:
  \end{itemize}
  $$
    \left<A\right>_{\Lambda,q}:=\frac1{Z(\Lambda|q)}\int_{\Omega_{\Lambda,q}}\kern-10pt dP\ z^{|P|}\varphi(P)A(P)
  $$
  \begin{itemize}
    \itemptchange{$\scriptstyle\blacktriangleright$}
    \begin{itemize}
      \item $\Omega_{\Lambda,q}$: plate configurations with $q$-boundary conditions, $|P|$: number of plates in $P$,
      \item $z$: {\it activity}: $z=e^{\beta\mu}$,
      \item $\varphi(P)$: hard-core potential,
      \item $Z(\Lambda|q)$: partition function (normalization),
      \item $A$: {\it local} observable.

\title{Setup}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item Boundary condition: any plate, centered at $x\in\Lambda$, that satisfies
      $$
	d_\infty(x,\ \mathbb R^3\setminus\Lambda)\leqslant\left(\frac4{1-\alpha}+3\right)\frac k2
      $$
      is of type $q$.

    \item Local observable:
      $$
	A(P)=\sum_{p\in P}a(p)
      $$
      and $a$ is {\it compactly supported}.
