Abstract

We consider the graphical representations of the Ising model on tree-like graphs. We construct a class of graphs on which the loop O(1)\mathrm{O}(1) model and the single random current exhibit a non-unique phase transition with respect to the inverse temperature, highlighting the non-monotonicity of both models. It follows from the construction that there exist infinite graphs GG\mathbb{G}\subseteq \mathbb{G}' such that the uniform even subgraph of G\mathbb{G}' percolates and the uniform even subgraph of G\mathbb{G} does not. We also show that on the wired dd-regular tree, the phase transitions of the loop O(1)\mathrm{O}(1), the single random current, and the random-cluster models are all unique and coincide.
