Corner percolation with preferential directions

Probability 2022-12-09 v1

Abstract

Corner percolation is a dependent bond percolation model on Z^2 introduced by B\'alint T\'oth, in which each vertex has exactly two incident edges, perpendicular to each other. G\'abor Pete has proven in 2008 that under the maximal entropy probability measure, all connected components are finite cycles almost surely. We consider here a regime where West and North directions are preferred with probability p and q respectively, with (p,q) different from (1/2,1/2). We prove that there exists almost surely an infinite number of infinite connected components, which are in fact infinite paths. Furthermore, they all have the same asymptotic slope (2q-1)/(1-2p).
