Arboreal gas phase-transition conjecture in dimensions at least three
Arboreal gas phase-transition conjecture in dimensions at least three
Let the arboreal gas be defined on with , let be the radius- ball, and let denote the tree containing the origin. Write for the probability that and lie in the same tree, and let be the parameter of the model. Arboreal gas phase-transition conjecture. There exists such that
Moreover, when , there is such that
while when ,
The first equality for sufficiently small is known, but the existence of a percolating phase for large and the existence of a sharp critical value remain open; the conjecture predicts mean-field-type phase-transition behaviour.
