The union of independent USFs on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ is transient

Probability 2023-11-16 v1

Abstract

We show that the union of two or more independent uniform spanning forests (USF) on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d with d3d\geq 3 almost surely forms a connected transient graph. In fact, this also holds when taking the union of a deterministic everywhere percolating set and an independent ϵ\epsilon-Bernoulli percolation on a single USF sample.
