Abstract: We consider the 2D quenched--disordered $q$--state Potts ferromagnets and show that at self--dual points any amalgamation of $q-1$ species will fail to percolate despite an overall (high) density of $1-q^{-1}$. Further, in the dilute bond version of these systems, if the system is just above threshold, then throughout the low temperature phase there is percolation of a single species despite a correspondingly small density. Finally, we demonstrate both phenomena in a single model by considering a ``perturbation of the dilute model that has a self--dual point. We also demonstrate that these phenomena occur, by a similar mechanism, in a simple coloring model invented by O. H"aggstr"om.

Review text

The principal system under study in the article is the 2D disordered Potts ferromagnet. First it is demonstrated that at self dual critical points there is an absence of percolation despite a density which may be arbitrary close to one. The complimentary result namely percolation at small density would follow immediately from continuity of the magnetization -- a currently open and challenging problem. However the diluted versions of the disordered Potts models exhibit this property throughout the low temperature phase (i.e. when the magnetization is positive) provided the media itself is near threshold. The formal proof is provided. The authors combine the two sets of results via the consideration of models with strong and weak interactions. These models inherit enough of the features of the dilute models to display the small density percolation property yet, unlike the dilute models, can have a self-dual point.
