Positive correlation for arbitrary three-fluid crossing events

About 7 years old · traced to

Let MnM_n be the finite honeycomb-lattice region. For k=1,2,3k=1,2,3, choose sets Ak,Bk⊂MnA_k,B_k\subset M_n, and let UkU_k be the event that fluid kk percolates between AkA_k and BkB_k. General three-fluid correlation conjecture. For all such choices,

P(U1∩U2∩U3)≥P(U1)P(U2)P(U3).P(U_1\cap U_2\cap U_3)\geq P(U_1)P(U_2)P(U_3).

This statement generalizes the conjectures for opposite-side and center-to-boundary percolation. Its scope is broader because the endpoint sets are arbitrary, and no proof or resolution is supplied in the paper.
