Abstract
We prove that in wide generality the critical curve of the activated random walk model is a continuous function of the deactivation rate, and we provide a bound on its slope which is uniform with respect to the choice of the graph. Moreover, we derive strict monotonicity properties for the probability of a wide class of `increasing' events, extending previous results of Rolla and Sidoravicius (2012). Our proof method is of independent interest and can be viewed as a reformulation of the `essential enhancements' technique -- which was introduced for percolation -- in the framework of Abelian networks.
