Abstract: The voter model on mathbbZd is a particle system that serves as a rough model for changes of opinions among social agents or, alternatively, competition between biological species occupying space. When dgeq3, the set of (extremal) stationary distributions is a family of measures mualpha, for alpha between 0 and 1. A configuration sampled from mualpha is a strongly correlated field of 0's and 1's on mathbbZd in which the density of 1's is alpha. We consider such a configuration as a site percolation model on mathbbZd. We prove that if dgeq5, the probability of existence of an infinite percolation cluster of 1's exhibits a phase transition in alpha. If the voter model is allowed to have sufficiently spread-out interactions, we prove the same result for dgeq3.
