On percolation critical probabilities and unimodular random graphs

preprint2017arXivOpen access

Abstract

We investigate generalisations of the classical percolation critical probabilities pcp_c, pTp_T and the critical probability pc~\tilde{p_c} defined by Duminil-Copin and Tassion (2015) to bounded degree unimodular random graphs. We further examine Schramm's conjecture in the case of unimodular random graphs: does pc(Gn)p_c(G_n) converge to pc(G)p_c(G) if Gn→GG_n\to G in the local weak sense? Among our results are the following: 1. pc=pc~p_c=\tilde{p_c} holds for bounded degree unimodular graphs. However, there are unimodular graphs with sub-exponential volume growth and pT<pcp_T < p_c; i.e., the classical sharpness of phase transition does not hold. 2. We give conditions which imply lim⁡pc(Gn)=pc(lim⁡Gn)\lim p_c(G_n) = p_c(\lim G_n). 3. There are sequences of unimodular graphs such that Gn→GG_n\to G but pc(G)>lim⁡pc(Gn)p_c(G)>\lim p_c(G_n) or pc(G)<lim⁡pc(Gn)<1p_c(G)<\lim p_c(G_n)<1. As a corollary to our positive results, we show that for any transitive graph with sub-exponential volume growth there is a sequence TnT_n of large girth bi-Lipschitz invariant subgraphs such that pc(Tn)→1p_c(T_n)\to 1. It remains open whether this holds whenever the transitive graph has cost 1.
