Fixation in cyclically competing species on a directed graph with quenched disorder

A simple model of cyclically competing species on a directed graph with quenched disorder is proposed as an extension of the rock-paper-scissors model. By assuming that the effects of loops in a directed random graph can be ignored in the thermodynamic limit, it is proved for any finite disorder that the system fixates to a frozen configuration when the species number $s$ is larger than the spatial connectivity $c$, and otherwise stays active. Nontrivial lower and upper bounds for the persistence probability of a site never changing its state are also analytically computed. The obtained bounds and numerical simulations support the existence of a phase transition as a function of disorder for $1
