In this paper we establish a decoupling feature of the random interlacement process Iu⊂Zd at level u, d≥3. Roughly speaking, we show that observations of Iu restricted to two disjoint subsets A1 and A2 of Zd are approximately independent, once we add a sprinkling to the process Iu by slightly increasing the parameter u. Our results differ from previous ones in that we allow the mutual distance between the sets A1 and A2 to be much smaller than their diameters. We then provide an important application of this decoupling for which such flexibility is crucial. More precisely, we prove that, above a certain critical threshold u∗∗, the probability of having long paths that avoid Iu is exponentially small, with logarithmic corrections for d=3.
