Abstract

Let d3d\ge 3 be a fixed integer. Let y:=y(p)y:= y(p) be the probability that the root of an infinite dd-regular tree belongs to an infinite cluster after pp-bond-percolation. We show that for every constants b,α>0b,\alpha>0 and 1<λ<d11<\lambda< d-1, there exist constants c,C>0c,C>0 such that the following holds. Let GG be a dd-regular graph on nn vertices, satisfying that for every UV(G)U\subseteq V(G) with Un2|U|\le \frac{n}{2}, e(U,Uc)bUe(U,U^c)\ge b|U| and for every UV(G)U\subseteq V(G) with UlogCn|U|\le \log^Cn, e(U)(1+c)Ue(U)\le (1+c)|U|. Let p=λd1p=\frac{\lambda}{d-1}. Then, with probability tending to one as nn tends to infinity, the largest component L1L_1 in the random subgraph GpG_p of GG satisfies 1L1ynα\left|1-\frac{|L_1|}{yn}\right|\le \alpha, and all the other components in GpG_p are of order O(λlogn(λ1)2)O\left(\frac{\lambda\log n}{(\lambda-1)^2}\right). This generalises (and improves upon) results for random dd-regular graphs.
