Gap at 1 for the percolation threshold of Cayley graphs

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We prove that the set of possible values for the percolation threshold pc of Cayley graphs has a gap at 1 in the sense that there exists ϵ0 > 0 such that for every Cayley graph G one either has pc(G) = 1 or pc(G) ≤ 1 - ϵ0. The proof builds on the new approach of Duminil-Copin, Goswami, Raoufi, Severo & Yadin (Duke Math. J. 169 (2020) 3539 3563) to the existence of phase transition using the Gaussian free field, combined with the finitary version of Gromov s theorem on the structure of groups of polynomial growth of Breuillard, Green & Tao (Publ. Math. Inst. Hautes Études Sci. 116 (2012) 115 221).
