Random-cluster critical-point conjecture for the discontinuity set

Let d2d\geq 2 and q1q\geq 1. For the random-cluster model on Ld\mathbb{L}^d, let ϕp,q0\phi_{p,q}^0 and ϕp,q1\phi_{p,q}^1 be the infinite-volume random-cluster measures with free and wired boundary conditions, respectively, and define

θ1(p,q)=ϕp,q1(0),\theta^1(p,q)=\phi_{p,q}^1(0\leftrightarrow\infty), pc(q)=sup{p:θ1(p,q)=0},p_{\text{c}}(q)=\sup\{p:\theta^1(p,q)=0\},

and let Dd,q[0,1]{\mathcal D}_{d,q}\subseteq[0,1] be the countable set such that ϕp,q0=ϕp,q1\phi_{p,q}^0=\phi_{p,q}^1 exactly when pDd,qp\notin{\mathcal D}_{d,q}. Random-cluster critical-point conjecture. There exists Q(d)Q(d) such that:

  • if q<Q(d)q<Q(d), then θ1(pc,q)=0\theta^1(p_{\text{c}},q)=0 and Dd,q={\mathcal D}_{d,q}=\varnothing;
  • if q>Q(d)q>Q(d), then θ1(pc,q)>0\theta^1(p_{\text{c}},q)>0 and Dd,q={pc}{\mathcal D}_{d,q}=\{p_{\text{c}}\}.

This conjecture predicts a threshold in the cluster-weight parameter separating a continuous regime, with no discontinuity points, from a regime in which the sole discontinuity occurs at the critical point. The statement does not specify what happens at q=Q(d)q=Q(d).
