Abstract

We investigate the problem of embedding infinite binary sequences into Bernoulli site percolation on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d with parameter pp, known also as percolation of words.\ In 1995, I.\ Benjamini and H.\ Kesten proved that, for d10d \geq 10 and p=1/2p=1/2, all sequences can be embedded, almost surely. They conjectured that the same should hold for d3d \geq 3. In this paper we consider d3d \geq 3 and p(pc(d),1pc(d))p \in (p_c(d), 1-p_c(d)), where pc(d)<1/2p_c(d)<1/2 is the critical threshold for site percolation on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d. We show that there exists an integer M=M(p)M = M (p), such that, a.s., every binary sequence, for which every run of consecutive {0s} or {1s} contains at least MM digits, can be embedded.
