Declare an element $p$-present if its corresponding value is at most $p$. In this paper, we quantify how much the observation of the $r$-present ($r>p$) set of elements affects the probability that the set of $p$-present elements is contained in $\\mathcal{H}$. In the context of percolation, we find that this question is closely linked to the near-critical regime. As a consequence, we show that for every $r>1/2$, bond percolation on the subgraph of the square lattice given by the set of $r$-present edges is almost surely noise sensitive at criticality, thus generalizing a result due to Benjamini, Kalai and Schramm.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-12-03T23:11:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60C05", "60K35", "06E30" ], "keywords": [ "noise sensitivity", "boolean sequences", "assign independent random variables" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1308.2656A" } } }
