Noise sensitivity of crossing events under nearest-neighbor dynamics

Let {ηt}\{\eta_t\} denote the nearest-neighbor dynamics on the triangular lattice at critical probability pc=1/2p_c=1/2, and let fnf_n be the Boolean function considered in the paper. Let α4(n)\alpha_4(n) denote the critical four-arm probability to distance nn. The conjectured statement is about time scales tnt_n satisfying

tn(n2α4(n))1n3/4.t_n \gg (n^2\alpha_4(n))^{-1} \approx n^{-3/4}.

Nearest-neighbor noise-sensitivity conjecture. If tn(n2α4(n))1n3/4t_n \gg (n^2\alpha_4(n))^{-1} \approx n^{-3/4}, then

limnE[fn(η0)fn(ηtn)]E[fn(η0)]2=0.\lim_{n\to\infty}\mathbb{E}[f_n(\eta_0)f_n(\eta_{t_n})]-\mathbb{E}[f_n(\eta_0)]^2=0.

This predicts decorrelation of the Boolean observable under nearest-neighbor dynamics once the time exceeds the inverse pivotality scale. The source presents it as a result that should hold; no resolution is supplied here.
