There is no isolated interface edge in very supercritical percolation

Abstract

We consider the Bernoulli bond percolation model in a box Λ\Lambda (not necessarily parallel to the directions of the lattice) in the regime where the percolation parameter is close to 11. We condition the configuration on the event that two opposite faces of the box are disconnected. We couple this configuration with an unconstrained percolation configuration. The interface edges are the edges which differ in the two configurations. We prove that, typically, each interface edge is within a distance of order lnΛ\ln|\Lambda| of another interface edge or of a pivotal edge. We derive an estimate for the law of an edge which is far from the cut and the interface edges.

Comments

There was a mistake in a construction of the first version in the section 3. So we withdraw the paper, and we have included the main result of this first version in the second version of our paper entitled "A new look at the interfaces in percolation" arXiv:1806.08576
