Ashkin–Teller magnetisation-interface percolation conjecture
Ashkin–Teller magnetisation-interface percolation conjecture
Consider the clusters in the decomposition of the Ashkin–Teller magnetisation field under boundary conditions. Assign independently to each cluster a fair random sign, except that the boundary cluster is assigned . Clusters with the same sign that touch are merged into a single cluster; call the resulting positive and negative clusters -clusters and -clusters, respectively.
Ashkin–Teller magnetisation-interface percolation conjecture. The law of the outermost interfaces of the Ashkin–Teller magnetisation field is the law of the outermost outer boundaries of the -clusters. The complete collection of interfaces is obtained by iterating this construction.
This is the proposed continuum percolation description of the scaling limit of magnetisation-field interfaces, extending the discrete representation through the dual complement of the Ashkin–Teller current. Even at , it suggests a connection between and Gaussian-free-field two-valued sets; the conjecture remains open.
