THE PHASE TRANSITION FOR PLANAR GAUSSIAN PERCOLATION MODELS WITHOUT FKG

Alejandro Rivera

We develop techniques to study the phase transition for planar Gaussian percolation models that are not (necessarily) positively correlated. These models lack the property of positive associations (also known as the 'FKG inequality'), and hence many classi ...
