The triangle condition for critical percolation on nonamenable graphs

Let GG be a connected, locally finite, nonamenable, quasi-transitive graph, and let Pp(uv)\mathbb P_p(u\leftrightarrow v) denote the probability that uu and vv are connected in Bernoulli bond percolation at parameter pp. Define the triangle diagram at the critical probability by

pc(v)=u,wVPpc(vu)Ppc(uw)Ppc(wv).\nabla_{p_c}(v)=\sum_{u,w\in V}\mathbb P_{p_c}(v\leftrightarrow u)\mathbb P_{p_c}(u\leftrightarrow w)\mathbb P_{p_c}(w\leftrightarrow v).

Triangle-condition conjecture. For every vVv\in V,

pc(v)<.\nabla_{p_c}(v)<\infty.

The triangle condition is a standard sufficient condition for mean-field critical exponents, including the expected exponents for cluster volume and percolation probability. It is known in several special cases but remains completely open for general nonamenable quasi-transitive graphs.
