Truncated long-range percolation of words on the square lattice

Probability 2026-04-02 v2

Abstract

We study mixed long-range percolation on the square lattice. Each vertical edge of unit length is independently open with probability ε\varepsilon, and each horizontal edge of length ii is independently open with probability pip_i. Also, each vertex is assigned independently a random variable taking values 1 and 0 with probability pp and 1p1-p, respectively. We prove that for a broad class of anisotropic long-range percolation models for which connection probabilities pip_i satisfy some regularity conditions, all words (semi-infinite binary sequences) are seen simultaneously from the origin with positive probability, even if all edges with length larger than some constant (depending on ε\varepsilon, pp, and on the sequence (pi)(p_i)) are suppressed.
