Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in the loop cluster model on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d for d3d\geq 3. It is a long range model with two parameters α\alpha and κ\kappa, where the non-negative parameter α\alpha measures the amount of loops, and κ\kappa plays the role of killing on vertices penalizing (κ0\kappa\geq 0) or favoring (κ<0\kappa<0) appearance of large loops. We consider the truncated loop cluster model formed by the Poisson point process Lα,m\mathcal{L}_{\alpha,\leq m}, which is the restriction of Lα\mathcal{L}_{\alpha} on loops with at most mm jumps. We prove the existence of percolation in a 22-dimensional slab for the truncated loop model Lα,m\mathcal{L}_{\alpha,\leq m} as long as the intensity parameter α\alpha is strictly above the critical threshold of the non-truncated loop model and mm is large enough. We apply this result to prove the exponential decay of one arm connectivity for the finite cluster at 00 for the whole supercritical regime of the non-truncated loop model. For κ=0\kappa=0, this loop percolation model provides an example in which we have different behaviors of finite clusters in sub-critical and super-critical regimes. Also, we deduce the strict increase of the critical curve ακc(α)\alpha\rightarrow\kappa_c(\alpha) for ααc\alpha\geq\alpha_c, where αc\alpha_c is the critical value when κ=0\kappa=0. In the end, we prove that α>αc\forall\alpha>\alpha_c large balls in the infinite cluster are finally very regular in the sense of \cite{Sapozhnikov2014}, which implies that large balls are finally very good in the sense of \cite{BarlowMR2094438}. By \cite{BarlowMR2094438} and \cite{BarlowHamblyMR2471657}, we have Harnack's inequality and Gaussian type estimate for simple random walks on the infinite cluster for all α>αc\alpha>\alpha_c.
