Inequalities for connectivity events in Bernoulli percolation

Abstract:

In Bernoulli percolation, events such as "two vertices are connected by an open path" naturally emerge. In this talk, I will explore the dependencies between these events for various vertex pairs and derive key FKG-type inequalities governing their probabilities and explain the relevance of these inequalities to the recent disproof of the Bunkbed Conjecture.
