Critical recurrence and transience conjecture for biased random networks on lattices

Let pcp_c denote the critical probability for Bernoulli bond percolation on Zd{\mathbb{Z}}^d, and let (Zd,Cλ1,Cλ2,p)({\mathbb{Z}}^d,\, \mathbf{C}_{\lambda_1},\, \mathbf{C}_{\lambda_2},\,p) denote the biased disordered random network with conductance parameters λ1\lambda_1 and λ2\lambda_2. Critical recurrence and transience conjecture. When 3d103\leq d\leq 10 and 0<λ11<λ20<\lambda_1\leq 1<\lambda_2, almost surely (Zd,Cλ1,Cλ2,pc)({\mathbb{Z}}^d,\, \mathbf{C}_{\lambda_1},\, \mathbf{C}_{\lambda_2},\,p_c) is recurrent. Moreover, the biased network (Z2,Cλ1,Cλ2,1/2)({\mathbb{Z}}^2,\, \mathbf{C}_{\lambda_1},\, \mathbf{C}_{\lambda_2},\,1/2) with 0<λ1<λ2=10<\lambda_1<\lambda_2=1 is transient almost surely. This extends the known critical-percolation picture, where non-existence of an infinite cluster at criticality is known in dimensions 22 and at least 1111, while the corresponding question remains open in dimensions 33 through 1010; the competing biased behavior in dimension two is expected to be transient.
