We investigate locality of the supercritical regime for Bernoulli percolation on transitive graphs with polynomial growth, by which we mean the following. Take a transitive graph of polynomial growth $\mathscr{G}$ satisfying…

Consider a bipartite random geometric graph on the union of two independent homogeneous Poisson point processes in $d$-space, with distance parameter $r$ and intensities $\lambda,\mu$. For any $\lambda>0$ we consider the percolation…

Assume that you are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with an initial coloring, where each node is black or white. Then, in discrete-time rounds all nodes simultaneously update their color following a predefined deterministic rule. This process is…

A 1-independent bond percolation model on a graph $G$ is a probability distribution on the spanning subgraphs of $G$ in which, for all vertex-disjoint sets of edges $S_1$ and $S_2$, the states of the edges in $S_1$ are independent of the…

We study an extremal question for the (reversible) $r-$bootstrap percolation processes. Given a graph and an initial configuration where each vertex is active or inactive, in the $r-$bootstrap percolation process the following rule is…

The process of $H$-bootstrap percolation for a graph $H$ is a cellular automaton, where, given a subset of the edges of $K_n$ as initial set, an edge is added at time $t$ if it is the only missing edge in a copy of $H$ in the graph obtained…

In \emph{$k$-bootstrap percolation}, we fix $p\in (0,1)$, an integer $k$, and a plane graph $G$. Initially, we infect each face of $G$ independently with probability $p$. Infected faces remain infected forever, and if a healthy (uninfected)…

We analyse the jigsaw percolation process, which may be seen as a measure of whether two graphs on the same vertex set are `jointly connected'. Bollob\'as, Riordan, Slivken and Smith proved that when the two graphs are independent binomial…

We extend classical bootstrap percolation by introducing two concurrent, competing processes on an Erd\H{o}s--R\'{e}nyi random graph $G(n,p_n)$. Each node can assume one of three states: red, black, or white. The process begins with…

We consider percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ and on the $d$-dimensional discrete torus, in dimensions $d \ge 11$ for the nearest-neighbour model and in dimensions $d>6$ for spread-out models. For $\mathbb{Z}^d$, we employ a wide range of…

Given two independent Poisson point processes $\Phi^{(1)},\Phi^{(2)}$ in $R^d$, the continuum AB percolation model is the graph with points of $\Phi^{(1)}$ as vertices and with edges between any pair of points for which the intersection of…

We consider bootstrap percolation on uncorrelated complex networks. We obtain the phase diagram for this process with respect to two parameters: $f$, the fraction of vertices initially activated, and $p$, the fraction of undamaged vertices…

We prove Schramm's locality conjecture for Bernoulli bond percolation on transitive graphs: If $(G_n)_{n\geq 1}$ is a sequence of infinite vertex-transitive graphs converging locally to a vertex-transitive graph $G$ and $p_c(G_n) \neq 1$…

In the polluted modified bootstrap percolation model, sites in the square lattice are independently initially occupied with probability $p$ or closed with probability $q$. A site becomes occupied at a subsequent step if it is not closed and…
