Suppose that we have a canonical Gibbs measure $\mu$ defined on a marked configuration space $\Omega$ that describes a system of infinitely many indistinguishable particles with internal degrees of freedom together with a diffeomorphism group action on $\Omega.$ Then $\mu$ is quasiinvariant under the group action, and we obtain a class of associated cocycles from its Radon–Nikodym derivatives. The cocycles are defined up to $\mu$-measure zero sets. We show that it is possible to choose a suitable pointwise-defined version $\beta$ of this cocycle. Further, we characterize all the measures on $\Omega$ that possess $\beta$ as their cocycle. If $\mu$ is obtained (e.g.) from a particular two-body potential $\hat{V}$ (satisfying some mild regularity assumptions), then $\beta$ takes a certain explicit form, and the class of canonical Gibbs measures characterized by $\beta$ contains exactly the measures associated with the potential $\hat{V}.$ Our result is based on the inheritance properties for the characterization by cocycles of Radon–Nikodym derivatives, which are proved for general $G$-spaces for local infinite-dimensional groups.
