We study the giant component problem slightly above the critical regime for percolation on Poissonian random graphs in the scale-free regime, where the vertex weights and degrees have a diverging second moment. Critical percolation on…

In a recent work of the authors and Kim, we derived a complete description of the largest component of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G(n,p)$ as it emerges from the critical window, i.e. for $p = (1+\epsilon)/n$ where $\epsilon^3 n…

We show that every (sub)cubic n-vertex graph with sufficiently large girth has fractional chromatic number at most 2.2978 which implies that it contains an independent set of size at least 0.4352n. Our bound on the independence number is…

We study the "rank 1 case" of the inhomogeneous random graph model. In the subcritical case we derive an exact formula for the asymptotic size of the largest connected component scaled to log n. This result is new, it completes the…

We study bond percolation for a family of infinite hyperbolic graphs. We relate percolation to the appearance of homology in finite versions of these graphs. As a consequence, we derive an upper bound on the critical probabilities of the…

Any infinite graph has site and bond percolation critical probabilities satisfying $p_c^{site}\geq p_c^{bond}$. The strict version of this inequality holds for many, but not all, infinite graphs. In this paper, the class of graphs for which…

We study the critical behavior for percolation on inhomogeneous random networks on $n$ vertices, where the weights of the vertices follow a power-law distribution with exponent $\tau \in (2,3)$. Such networks, often referred to as…

We consider bond percolation on high-dimensional product graphs $G=\square_{i=1}^tG^{(i)}$, where $\square$ denotes the Cartesian product. We call the $G^{(i)}$ the base graphs and the product graph $G$ the host graph. Very recently, Lichev…

We describe a robust methodology, based on the martingale argument of Nachmias and Peres and random walk estimates, to obtain simple upper and lower bounds on the size of a maximal component in several random graphs \textit{at criticality}.…

Let $G(n,\, M)$ be the uniform random graph with $n$ vertices and $M$ edges. Let $B_n$ be the maximum block-size of $G(n,\, M)$ or the maximum size of its maximal $2$-connected induced subgraphs. We determine the expectation of $B_n$ near…

It is shown that in a subcritical random graph with given vertex degrees satisfying a power law degree distribution with exponent $\gamma>3$, the largest component is of order $n^{1/(\gamma-1)}$. More precisely, the order of the largest…

Let A be the annulus in R^2 centered at the origin with inner and outer radii r(1-\epsilon) and r, respectively. Place points {x_i} in R^2 according to a Poisson process with intensity 1 and let G_A be the random graph with vertex set {x_i}…

We consider first-passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with i.i.d. weights, whose distribution function satisfies $F(0) = p_c = 1/2$. This is sometimes known as the "critical case" because large clusters of zero-weight edges force passage…

As a generation of the classical percolation, clique percolation focuses on the connection of cliques in a graph, where the connection of two $k$-cliques means that they share at least $l<k$ vertices. In this paper, we develop a theoretical…

We study noise sensitivity of properties of the largest components $({\cal C}_j)_{j\geq 1}$ of the random graph ${\cal G}(n,p)$ in its critical window $p=(1+\lambda n^{-1/3})/n$. For instance, is the property "$|{\cal C}_1|$ exceeds its…

Motivated by applications, the last few years have witnessed tremendous interest in understanding the structure as well as the behavior of dynamics for inhomogeneous random graph models. In this study we analyze the maximal components at…

We study bond percolation on the hypercube $\{0,1\}^m$ in the slightly subcritical regime where $p = p_c (1-\varepsilon_m)$ and $\varepsilon_m = o(1)$ but $\varepsilon_m \gg 2^{-m/3}$ and study the clusters of largest volume and diameter.…

A necessary and sufficient condition is established for the strict inequality $p_c(G_*)<p_c(G)$ between the critical probabilities of site percolation on a quasi-transitive, plane graph $G$ and on its matching graph $G_*$. It is assumed…

Given a weighted graph, we introduce a partition of its vertex set such that the distance between any two clusters is bounded from below by a power of the minimum weight of both clusters. This partition is obtained by recursively merging…

We extend some of the fundamental results about percolation on unimodular nonamenable graphs to nonunimodular graphs. We show that they cannot have infinitely many infinite clusters at critical Bernoulli percolation. In the case of heavy…
