Abstract

Separated-occurrence inequalities are variants for dependent lattice models of the van den Berg-Kesten inequality for independent models. They take the form P(ArB)(1+ceϵr)P(A)P(B)P(A \circ_r B) \leq (1 + ce^{-\epsilon r})P(A)P(B), where ArBA \circ_r B is the event that AA and BB occur at separation rr in a configuration ω\omega, that is, there exist two random sets of bonds or sites separated by at least distance rr, one set responsible for the occurrence of the event AA in ω\omega, the other for the occurrence of BB. We establish such inequalities for certain subcritical FK models, and for certain Ising models which are at supercritical temperature or have an external field, with AA and BB increasing or decreasing events.
