Abstract: An explicit coupling construction of random-cluster measures is presented. As one of the applications of the construction, the Potts model on amenable Cayley graphs is shown to exhibit at every temperature the mixing property known as Bernoullicity.

Review text

The paper gives a contribution to the study of the random-cluster model and hence of the ferromagnetic Potts model, related with the former one by Swendsen and Wang. Basing on the results of \textit{G. R. Grimmett} [Ann. Probab. 23, No. 4, 1461-1510 (1995; Zbl 0852.60105)], \textit{J. G. Propp} and \textit{D. B. Wilson} [Random Struct. Algorithms 9, No. 1/2, 223-252 (1996; Zbl 0859.60067)], and \textit{O. Häggström} and \textit{J. E. Steif} [Comb. Probab. Comput. 9, No. 5, 425-439 (2000; Zbl 0973.60049)], the authors develop an explicit pointwise dynamical construction of random-cluster measures, which provides couplings between random-cluster measures with different boundary conditions. This construction enables the authors to show that the Potts model on an amenable Cayley graph with fixed-spin boundary conditions exhibits a strong mixing, known as Bernoullicity. Some peculiarities and open problems of the random-cluster model and coupling construction are discussed in the concluding section of the paper.
