Strict monotonicity, continuity and bounds on the Kert\'{e}sz line for the random-cluster model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$
Abstract
Ising and Potts models can be studied using the Fortuin-Kasteleyn representation through the Edwards-Sokal coupling. This adapts to the setting where the models are exposed to an external field of strength . In this representation, which is also known as the random-cluster model, the Kert\'{e}sz line separates the two regions of parameter space according to the existence of an infinite cluster in . This signifies a geometric phase transition between the ordered and disordered phases even in cases where a thermodynamic phase transition does not occur. In this article, we prove strict monotonicity and continuity of the Kert\'{e}sz line. Furthermore, we give new rigorous bounds that are asymptotically correct in the limit complementing the bounds from the work of Ruiz and Wouts [J. Math. Phys. 49, 053303 (2008)], which were asymptotically correct for . Finally, using a cluster expansion, we investigate the continuity of the Kert\'{e}sz line phase transition.
