The random-current Kertész-line monotonicity conjecture

About 4 years old · traced to

Let Ph∅P_h^\emptyset denote the random-current measure and let Ph⊗2P_h^{\otimes2} denote the sourceless double random-current measure on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d. The random-current monotonicity conjecture. For every d≥2d\geq2, both maps

h⟼Ph∅[0↔Zd∞]h\longmapsto P_h^\emptyset\left[0\overset{\mathbb{Z}^d}{\leftrightarrow}\infty\right]

and

h⟼Ph⊗2[0↔Zd∞]h\longmapsto P_h^{\otimes2}\left[0\overset{\mathbb{Z}^d}{\leftrightarrow}\infty\right]

are increasing. If true, this would provide the monotonicity needed to establish the existence of a Kertész line for random currents, despite the failure of full monotonicity; the source leaves the conjecture open.
