No label defined (Q4497396)

The following continuous analogue of the discrete site percolation model (``Poisson blob model'') is studied: Let \({\mathfrak M}\) denote the family of all countable subsets \(\eta\subset R^d\) satisfying \(N_K(\eta)< \infty\) for all compact sets \(K\subset R^d\) \(\;(N_A(\eta)\) denoting the number of points of \(\eta\) in \(A\subset R^d\)). Let \({\mathfrak M}\) be equipped with the \(\sigma\)-algebra generated by the sets \(\{\eta\in{\mathfrak M}: N_A(\eta)= n\}\) for all \(A\in {\mathcal B}(R^d)\) and \(n\geq 0\). Let the ball with radius \(r= r(d)\) have volume one. For \(\eta\in M\) and \(x,y\in R^d\) write \(x\leftarrow \eta\to y\) if there exist \(u_1,\dots, u_m\) in \(\eta\) such that \(|x- u_1|< r\), \(|u_m- y|< r\) and \(|u_i- u_{i+1}|< r\), \(1\leq i\leq m-1\). The cluster of \(x\) is defined by \(C(x,\eta)= \{y\in R^d: x\leftarrow \eta\to y\}\). Finally, let \(\eta\) be distributed according to a Poisson distribution \(\mu_\lambda\) with intensity measure \(\lambda dx\) \((\lambda> 0)\). Let \(\theta(\lambda)= \mu_\lambda(|C(0)|= \infty)\) define the percolation density and \(\chi(\lambda)= \int_{\mathfrak M} \mu_\lambda(d\eta)|C(0)|\) the susceptibility (\(|A|\) denoting the volume of \(A\subset R^d\)). If \(\nabla(\lambda)\) denotes the triangle diagram, the inequality \(\nabla(\lambda_c)< \infty\) is called the triangle condition [see \textit{M. Aizenman} and \textit{C. M. Newman}. J. Stat. Phys. 36, 107-144 (1984; Zbl 0586.60096)], \(\lambda_c\) denoting the critical value \(\inf\{\lambda> 0:\theta(\lambda)> 0\}\). The author shows that there exist constants \(d_0> 6\) and positive constants \(C_1,\dots, C_4\) such that, for \(d\geq d_0\), \[ \nabla(\lambda_c)< \infty, \] \[ C_1(\lambda- \lambda_c)\leq \theta(\lambda)\leq C_2(\lambda- \lambda_c)\quad\text{as }\lambda\downarrow \lambda_c, \] \[ C_3(\lambda_c- \lambda)^{-1}\leq \chi(\lambda)\leq C_4(\lambda_c- \lambda)^{-1}\quad\text{as }\lambda\uparrow \lambda_c. \] For the entire collection see [Zbl 0939.00029].
