Inequalities and Entanglements for Percolation and Random-cluster Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss inequalities and applications for percolation and randomcluster models. The relevant areas of methodology concern the following two types of inequality: inequalities involving the probability of a general increasing event, and certain differential inequalities involving the percolation probability. We summarise three areas of application of such inequalities, namely strict inequality between the bond and site critical percolation probabilities of a general graph, the general study of entanglements in percolation, and strict inequalities for critical points of disordered random-cluster models.

Comparison and Disjoint-occurrence Inequalities for Random-cluster Models
Geoffrey Grimmett Abstra t. A principal technique for studying percolation, (ferromagnetic) Ising, Potts, and random-cluster models is the FKG inequality, which implies certain stochastic comparison inequalities for the associated probability measures. The first result of this paper is a new comparison inequality, proved using an argument developed in Refs. 2, 6, 14, and 21 in order to obtain s...
متن کاملExplicit isoperimetric constants, phase transitions in the random-cluster and Potts models, and Bernoullicity
The random-cluster model is a dependent percolation model that has applications in the study of Ising and Potts models. In this paper, several new results for the random-cluster model with cluster parameter q ≥ 1 are obtained. These include an explicit pointwise dynamical construction of random-cluster measures for arbitrary graphs, and for unimodular transitive graphs, lack of percolation for ...
متن کاملDisordered Ising Systems and Random Cluster Representations
We discuss the Fortuin–Kasteleyn (FK) random cluster representation for Ising models with no external field and with pair interactions which need not be ferromagnetic. In the ferromagnetic case, the close connections between FK percolation and Ising spontaneous magnetization and the availability of comparison inequalities to independent percolation have been applied to certain disordered system...
متن کاملThe Random-cluster Model
The class of random-cluster models is a unification of a variety of stochastic processes of significance for probability and statistical physics, including percolation, Ising, and Potts models; in addition, their study has impact on the theory of certain random combinatorial structures, and of electrical networks. Much (but not all) of the physical theory of Ising/Potts models is best implement...
متن کاملA pr 1 99 7 Random – Cluster Representation of the Ashkin – Teller Model
We show that a class of spin models, containing the Ashkin–Teller model, admits a generalized random–cluster (GRC) representation. Moreover we show that basic properties of the usual representation, such as FKG inequalities and comparison inequalities, still hold for this generalized random–cluster model. Some elementary consequences are given. We also consider the duality transformations in th...
