Abstract
We estimate locations of the regions of the percolation and of the non-percolation in the plane (λ,β): the Poisson rate–the inverse temperature, for interacting particle systems in finite dimension Euclidean spaces. Our results about the percolation and about the non-percolation are obtained under different assumptions. The intersection of two groups of the assumptions reduces the results to two dimension Euclidean space, ℝ2, and to a potential function of the interactions having a hard core.
The technics for the percolation proof is based on a contour method which is applied to a discretization of the Euclidean space. The technics for the non-percolation proof is based on the coupling of the Gibbs field with a branching process.
