On $k$-Core Percolation in Four Dimensions

Abstract

The kk-core percolation on the Bethe lattice has been proposed as a simple model of the jamming transition because of its hybrid first-order/second-order nature. We investigate numerically kk-core percolation on the four-dimensional regular lattice. For k=4k=4 the presence of a discontinuous transition is clearly established but its nature is strictly first order. In particular, the kk-core density displays no singular behavior before the jump and its correlation length remains finite. For k=3k=3 the transition is continuous.
