Strict monotonicity of weighted inhomogeneous percolation thresholds under covering maps
Abstract
We study Bernoulli bond percolation under weak covering maps for a class of weighted inhomogeneous product measures such that each edge e carries a positive weight w(e) and is open at intensity λ≥ 0 with probability 1−exp(−λw(e)). We prove a strict monotonicity of the weighted critical intensities λc in the covering compatibility setting under bounded degree, uniform ellipticity, tame fibre and disjoint tree-lifting. While for the weighted uniform connection thresholds λconn, we establish their strict monotonicity for non-injective weak covering maps under bounded degree, covering compatibility, uniform ellipticity, bounded-fibre and disjoint tree-lifting. Moreover, we verify a general-profile theorem on strict monotonicities of the two thresholds λc and λconn respectively under explicit compact-interval finite-energy, derivative bounds and aforementioned geometric conditions.
