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 h>0h>0. 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 Zd\mathbb{Z}^d. 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 h0h \to 0 complementing the bounds from the work of Ruiz and Wouts [J. Math. Phys. 49, 053303 (2008)], which were asymptotically correct for hh \to \infty. Finally, using a cluster expansion, we investigate the continuity of the Kert\'{e}sz line phase transition.
