Abstract

We consider an i.i.d. supercritical bond percolation on Z^d , every edge is open with a probability p > p\_c (d), where p\_c (d) denotes the critical parameter for this percolation. We know that there exists almost surely a unique infinite open cluster C\_p [11]. We are interested in the regularity properties of the chemical distance for supercritical Bernoulli percolation. The chemical distance between two points x, y \in C\_p corresponds to the length of the shortest path in C\_p joining the two points. The chemical distance between 0 and nx grows asymptotically like nμ\mu\_p (x). We aim to study the regularity properties of the map p \rightarrow μ\mu\_p in the supercritical regime. This may be seen as a special case of first passage percolation where the distribution of the passage time is G\_p = pδ\delta\_1 + (1 -- p)δ\delta\_\infty , p > p c (d). It is already known that the map p \rightarrow μ\mu\_p is continuous (see [10]).
