Critical-frontier conjecture for the independent model

Let the independent model be the two-parameter percolation model on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d described in the paper, with parameters (p,λ)(p,\lambda), where d2d\geq 2. For p>0p>0, let λc(p,d)\lambda_{\mathrm{c}}(p,d) denote the conjectured critical value in the λ\lambda-parameter.

Independent-model phase-diagram conjecture. There exists λc(p,d)(0,1)\lambda_{\mathrm{c}}(p,d)\in(0,1) such that λc(,d)\lambda_{\mathrm{c}}(\mathord{\cdot},d) is continuous and strictly increasing on (0,1](0,1]; for λ<λc(p,d)\lambda<\lambda_{\mathrm{c}}(p,d) there exists almost surely no infinite blue cluster; and for λ>λc(p,d)\lambda>\lambda_{\mathrm{c}}(p,d) there exists almost surely a unique infinite blue cluster. Moreover, for each fixed λ\lambda, the probability that the origin lies in an infinite blue cluster is non-increasing in pp.

The paper proves several regions of the independent-model phase diagram, including regions with and without a unique infinite blue cluster, but the complete critical frontier and the stated monotonicity properties are not established.
