Quantitative dynamical exclusion-sensitivity threshold conjecture for the voter model

Let (Gn)nN(G_n)_{n\in\mathbb N} be a sequence of connected graphs, with nn vertices, edge set EnE_n, and maximum degree Δn\Delta_n. Let tnt_n be a non-negative sequence of times, let fn(η0,ω)f_n(\eta_0,\omega) denote the consensus opinion of the voter model, and let ωtn\omega_{t_n} denote the dynamically exclusion-perturbed configuration at time tnt_n. Quantitative dynamical exclusion-sensitivity threshold conjecture.

limntnnΔnEn=0lim infnCov(fn(η0,ω),fn(η0,ωtn))>0,\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{t_n n\Delta_n}{|E_n|}=0 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad \liminf_{n\to\infty}\operatorname{Cov}\big(f_n(\eta_0,\omega),f_n(\eta_0,\omega_{t_n})\big)>0,

and

limntnnΔnEn=+lim infnCov(fn(η0,ω),fn(η0,ωtn))=0.\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{t_n n\Delta_n}{|E_n|}=+\infty \quad\Longrightarrow\quad \liminf_{n\to\infty}\operatorname{Cov}\big(f_n(\eta_0,\omega),f_n(\eta_0,\omega_{t_n})\big)=0.

The first implication is already given by the preceding exclusion-stability corollary, while the second would provide a quantitative description of the conjectured sensitivity regime. The intermediate-scale behavior is not specified.
