Discontinuity conjecture for the Potts model in dimensions at least three

At least 8 years old · documented by

Let d≥3d\ge 3 and q≥3q\ge 3. Consider the nearest-neighbor Potts model on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d. Discontinuity conjecture. The phase transition of this model is discontinuous. The claim is proved in several regimes, including sufficiently large qq at fixed dd, sufficiently large dd at fixed qq, and sufficiently spread-out interactions, but remains open in general.
