Let $S_1(x)$ be the random-walk Green function generated by $D$. We have shown that $\\bullet~~S_1(x)$ changes its asymptotic behavior from Newton ($\\alpha>2$) to Riesz ($\\alpha<2$), with log correction at $\\alpha=2$; $\\bullet~~G_{p_c}(x)\\sim\\frac{A}{p_c}S_1(x)$ as $|x|\\to\\infty$ in dimensions higher than (or equal to, if $\\alpha=2$) the upper critical dimension $d_c$ (with sufficiently large spread-out parameter $L$). The model-dependent $A$ and $d_c$ exhibit crossover at $\\alpha=2$. The keys to the proof are (i) detailed analysis on the underlying random walk to derive sharp asymptotics of $S_1$, (ii) bounds on convolutions of power functions (with log corrections, if $\\alpha=2$) to optimally control the lace-expansion coefficients $\\pi_p^{(n)}$, and (iii) probabilistic interpretation (valid only when $\\alpha\\le2$) of the convolution of $D$ and a function $\\varPi_p$ of the alternating series $\\sum_{n=0}^\\infty(-1)^n\\pi_p^{(n)}$. We outline the proof, emphasizing the above key elements for percolation in particular.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-12-26T09:54:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60K35", "82B20", "82B27", "82B41", "82B43" ], "keywords": [ "long-range models", "power-law couplings", "crossover phenomena", "critical behavior", "log correction" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
