The critical-density recurrence conjecture for the frog model on non-amenable graphs

Let GG be a connected non-amenable graph of bounded degree, and let λ\lambda be the frog-model particle density. Critical-density recurrence conjecture. There exists λc>0{\lambda}_{\mathrm c}>0 such that for all λ>λc{\lambda}>{\lambda}_{\mathrm c} the frog model on GG is Pλ{\mathbb P}_{\lambda}-almost surely recurrent, whereas for all λ<λc{\lambda}<\lambda_{\mathrm c} it is Pλ{\mathbb P}_{\lambda}-almost surely transient. This conjectures a positive phase-transition density, analogous to the dichotomy stated for the social-network model on infinite graphs; the source does not establish the frog-model phase transition.
