Fig. 7.2. Two trifurcations x and x ′ belonging to a cluster K of B(n). They induce<br />

compatible partitions of ∂K.<br />

Furthermore, if x and x ′ are distinct trifurcations of K ∩ B(n − 1), then<br />

ΠK(x) and ΠK(x ′ ) are distinct and compatible; see Figure 7.2.<br />

It follows by Lemma 7.5 that the number T(K) of trifurcations in K ∩<br />

B(n − 1) satisfies<br />

T(K) ≤ |∂K| − 2.<br />

We sum this inequality over all connected clusters of B(n), to obtain that<br />

1Tx ≤ |∂B(n)|.<br />

Take expectations, and use (7.4) to find that<br />

|B(n − 1)|Pp(T0) ≤ |∂B(n)|,<br />

which is impossible for large n since the left side grows as n d and the right<br />

side as n d−1 . This contradiction completes the proof. �
