Description : Abstract : a state of an infinite system in classical statistical mechanics is usually described by its correlation functions. We discuss here other description in particular as 1) a state on a B*-algebras, 2) a collection of density distributions, 3) a field theory 4) a mesure on a space of configurations of infitely many particles. We consier the relations between these various descriptions and prove under very general conditions an integral representation of a state as superposition of extremal invariant states corresponding to pure thermodynamical phases.
