Abstract

We prove a Russo-Seymour-Welsch percolation theorem for nodal domains and nodal lines associated to a natural infinite dimensional space of real analytic functions on the real plane. More precisely, let UU be a smooth connected bounded open set in R2\mathbb R^2 and γ,γ\gamma, \gamma' two disjoint arcs of positive length in the boundary of UU. We prove that there exists a positive constant cc, such that for any positive scale ss, with probability at least cc there exists a connected component of {xUˉ,f(sx)\textgreater0}\{x\in \bar U, \, f(sx) \textgreater{} 0\} intersecting both γ\gamma and γ\gamma', where ff is a random analytic function in the Wiener space associated to the real Bargmann-Fock space. For ss large enough, the same conclusion holds for the zero set {xUˉ,f(sx)=0}\{x\in \bar U, \, f(sx) = 0\} . As an important intermediate result, we prove that sign percolation for a general stationary Gaussian field can be made equivalent to a correlated percolation model on a lattice.
