Positive correlation of three-fluid percolation between opposite sides

At least 6 years old · documented by

Let MnM_n be the finite honeycomb-lattice region with four-colored cells, and let Bk,n⊂ΩB_{k,n}\subset\Omega be the event that fluid kk, for k=1,2,3k=1,2,3, percolates between opposite sides kk and k+3k+3 of the hexagon PP. Positive-correlation conjecture. For each nn,

P(B1,n∩B2,n∩B3,n)≥P(B1,n)P(B2,n)P(B3,n).P(B_{1,n}\cap B_{2,n}\cap B_{3,n})\geq P(B_{1,n})P(B_{2,n})P(B_{3,n}).

The events are pairwise independent, while the cited theorem shows that their joint dependence vanishes asymptotically. The conjecture asserts positive three-way correlation at every finite scale.
