Extremal percolation probabilities among isotropic degree-two models

At least 1 year old · documented by

Let Cp\mathcal{C}_p be the class of probability distributions on Ω\Omega that are independent and identically distributed over the vertices, isotropic, and have expected degree equal to pp. For P∈Cp\mathbf{P}\in\mathcal{C}_p, let θ(P)\theta(\mathbf{P}) denote its percolation probability, and let θpns–ew\theta^{\text{ns--ew}}_p and θpaon\theta^{\text{aon}}_p denote the percolation probabilities of the northsouth-eastwest and all-or-nothing models at parameter pp. Extremal-model conjecture. For every P∈Cp\mathbf{P}\in\mathcal{C}_p,

θpns–ew≥θ(P)≥θpaon.\theta^{\text{ns--ew}}_p \geq \theta(\mathbf{P}) \geq \theta^{\text{aon}}_p.

This proposes that the northsouth-eastwest and all-or-nothing models are respectively extremal among isotropic, vertex-i.i.d. environments with a fixed expected degree. It is motivated by numerical observations and variance intuition, and remains an open problem.
