Percolation on hyperbolic graphs
Abstract
We prove that Bernoulli bond percolation on any nonamenable, Gromov hyperbolic, quasi-transitive graph has a phase in which there are infinitely many infinite clusters, verifying a well-known conjecture of Benjamini and Schramm (1996) under the additional assumption of hyperbolicity. In other words, we show that for any such graph. Our proof also yields that the triangle condition holds at criticality on any such graph, which is known to imply that several critical exponents exist and take their mean-field values. This gives the first family of examples of one-ended groups all of whose Cayley graphs are proven to have mean-field critical exponents for percolation.
