Abstract

We rigorously prove that the probability P_n that the origin of a d-dimensional lattice belongs to a cluster of exactly n sites satisfies P_n > exp(-αn^(d-1)/d) whenever percolation occurs. This holds for the usual (noninteracting) percolation models for any concentration p > p_c, as well as for the equilibrium states of lattice spin systems with quite general interactions. Such a lower bound applies also if no percolation occurs, but if it appears in some other phase of the system.
