(4,6)-cage occupancy-fraction conjecture

Let αG(λ)\alpha_G(\lambda) denote the occupancy fraction of a graph GG in the hard-core model, and let H4,6H_{4,6} be the (4,6)(4,6)-cage. (4,6)-cage occupancy-fraction conjecture. For every 44-regular graph GG of girth at least 55 and every λ>0\lambda>0,

αG(λ)αH4,6(λ).\alpha_G(\lambda)\leq\alpha_{H_{4,6}}(\lambda).

This is the proposed 44-regular analogue of the corresponding extremal result and remains open.
