Immigration, Integration and Ghetto Formation — •Hildegard Meyer-Ortmanns — School of Engineering and Science, International University Bremen, 28725 Bremen

We study ghetto formation in a population with natives and immigrants in the framework of the two-dimensional Ising model with Kawasaki-exchange dynamics. We show the conditions under which ghetto formation between natives and immigrants can be avoided. The conditions are determined by the immigration rate, the integration speed and last but not least by the phase structure of the Ising model.
