Abstract
Consider long-range Bernoulli percolation on ℤᵈ in which we connect each pair of distinct points x and y by an edge with probability 1 − exp(−β‖x − y‖^(−d−α)), where α > 0 is fixed and β ⩾ 0 is a parameter. We prove that if 0 < α < d, then the critical two-point function satisfies (1/|Λ_r|)∑_(xϵΛ_(r))P_(β_(c))(0 ↔ x) ≤ r^(−d+a) for every r ⩾ 1, where Λ_r = [−r,r]ᵈ ∩ ℤᵈ. In other words, the critical two-point function on ℤᵈ is always bounded above on average by the critical two-point function on the hierarchical lattice. This upper bound is believed to be sharp for values of α strictly below the crossover value α_(c)(d), where the values of several critical exponents for long-range percolation on ℤᵈ and the hierarchical lattice are believed to be equal.
