4 Percolation Take G = (Z d, E d ) - the integer lattice with nearest neighbor edges. Open each edge with probability p [0, 1] independently. Let B p be the underlying measure. Theorem (Broadbent, Hammersley 1957) For all d > 2, there exists p c (d) (0, 1) such that: { 0 if p < pc (d) B p (0 ) = θ(p) > 0 if p > p c (d)

5 Basic Picture Sub-critical density p < p c (d): All clusters (connected components) are finite. Radii of clusters have exponentially decaying distributions: ξ p (0, ) : B p (0 B(R)) e ξpr. Russo-Menshikov (86), Barskey-Aizenman (87). Super-critical density p > p c (d): Unique infinite cluster B p -a.s. Radii of finite clusters have exponentially decaying distributions: ζ p (0, ) : B p ( 0 B(R)) e ζpr. Chayes 2 -Newman (87), C 2 -Grimmett-Kesten-Schonmann (89).

6 Connectivities The point-to-point connectivity function is defined as: τ p (x, y) = B p (x y) ; x, y Z d.

7 Connectivities The point-to-point connectivity function is defined as: τ p (x, y) = B p (x y) ; x, y Z d. Sub-critical case: Subadditivity (via FKG of B p ) and exponential decay of cluster radius distribution imply: Theorem Assume p < p c (d). Then, for all x R d : ξ p (x) = lim n 1 n log τ p(0, nx ) is well-defined, convex and homogeneous function that is strictly positive on R d \ {0}. In other words ξ p is a norm on R d, called the inverse correlation norm.

8 Connectivities - cont d Super-critical case: FKG gives a uniform positive lower bound for all x, y Z d : B p (x y) B p (x )B p (y ) = θ 2 (p) > 0.

9 Connectivities - cont d Super-critical case: FKG gives a uniform positive lower bound for all x, y Z d : B p (x y) B p (x )B p (y ) = θ 2 (p) > 0. Therefore, define the finite (truncated) connectivity function: f τp f (x, y) = B p(x y) = B p ( x y) ; x, y Z d.

10 Connectivities - cont d Super-critical case: FKG gives a uniform positive lower bound for all x, y Z d : B p (x y) B p (x )B p (y ) = θ 2 (p) > 0. Therefore, define the finite (truncated) connectivity function: f τp f (x, y) = B p(x y) = B p ( x y) ; x, y Z d. Theorem Assume p / {0, p c (d), 1}. Then, for all x R d : ζ p (x) = lim n 1 n log τ f p(0, nx ) is well-defined, homogeneous and strictly positive on R d \ {0}. This is the finite (truncated) inverse correlation function.

11 In other words: Logarithmic Scale Asymptotics B p (x y) e ξp(θ) y x 2 and B p (x f y) e ζp(θ) y x 2 for all x, y Z d as y x, where θ = (x y)/ x y 2.

12 In other words: Logarithmic Scale Asymptotics B p (x y) e ξp(θ) y x 2 and B p (x f y) e ζp(θ) y x 2 for all x, y Z d as y x, where θ = (x y)/ x y 2. Some relations: ξ p = ξ p (e 1 ). ζ p = ζ p (e 1 ). If d = 2, p > p c (2) = 1 2 then ζ p = 2ξ 1 p. Chayes-Chayes-Grimmett-Kesten-Schonmann (89).

Some relations: ξ p = ξ p (e 1 ). ζ p = ζ p (e 1 ). If d = 2, p > p c (2) = 1 2 then ζ p = 2ξ 1 p. Chayes-Chayes-Grimmett-Kesten-Schonmann (89). Want sharp asymptotics: B p (x y)? and B p (x f y)?

No OZ Behavior in d = 2 below the critical temperature!
