Abstract:
We consider some random subsets of Z^d, d greater or equal to 3, with strong long-range correlation (examples include the trace of simple random walk, random interlacements and level sets of Gaussian free field). We investigate the behavior of the probability that a large body gets disconnected from infinity by this set and derive asymptotic lower and upper bounds that are tight pending on conjectures on the percolations threshold(s) of the vacant set of interlacements and level sets of GFF.
