Two related issues are explored for bond percolation on the d-dimensional cubic lattice (with d > 2) and its dual plaquette process. Firstly, for what values of the parameter p does the complement of the infinite open cluster possess an…
The study of the Ising model from a percolation perspective has played a significant role in the modern theory of critical phenomena. We consider the celebrated square-lattice Ising model and construct percolation clusters by placing bonds,…
In this note, we investigate Bernoulli oriented bond percolation with parameter $p$ on $\mathbb{Z}^2$. In addition to the standard edges, which are open with probability $p$, we introduce diagonal edges each open with probability…
We derive an exact, simple relation between the average number of clusters and the wrapping probabilities for two-dimensional percolation. The relation holds for periodic lattices of any size. It generalizes a classical result of Sykes and…
We explore a bond percolation model on slabs $\mathbb{S}^+_k=\mathbb{Z}_+\times \mathbb{Z}_+\times\{0,\dots,k\}$ featuring one-dimensional inhomogeneities. In this context, a vertical column on the slab comprises the set of vertical edges…
Recently, the authors showed that the critical probability for random Voronoi percolation in the plane is 1/2. A by-product of the method was a short proof of the Harris-Kesten Theorem concerning bond percolation in the planar square…
The existence (or not) of infinite clusters is explored for two stochastic models of intersecting line segments in $d \ge 2$ dimensions. Salient features of the phase diagram are established in each case. The models are based on site…
Let $G$ be the product of finitely many trees $T_1\times T_2 \times \cdots \times T_N$, each of which is regular with degree at least three. We consider Bernoulli bond percolation and the Ising model on this graph, giving a short proof that…
The aim of this paper is to explore possible ways of extending Smirnov's proof of Cardy's formula for critical site-percolation on the triangular lattice to other cases (such as bond-percolation on the square lattice); the main question we…
We investigate percolation on a randomly directed lattice, an intermediate between standard percolation and directed percolation, focusing on the isotropic case in which bonds on opposite directions occur with the same probability. We…
We consider a class of multi-type particle systems having similar structure to the contact process and show that additivity is equivalent to the existence of a dual process, extending a result of Harris. We give two additional…
We introduce and study a family of 2D percolation systems which are based on the bond percolation model of the triangular lattice. The system under study has local correlations, however, bonds separated by a few lattice spacings act…
We prove Tsirelson's conjecture that any scaling limit of the critical planar percolation is a black noise. Our theorems apply to a number of percolation models, including site percolation on the triangular grid and any subsequential…
We consider Bernoulli hyper-edge percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. This model is a generalization of Bernoulli bond percolation. An edge connects exactly two vertices and a hyper-edge connects more than two vertices. As in the classical…
We consider anisotropic independent bond percolation models on the slab $\Z^2\times\{0,\dots,k\}$, where we suppose that the axial (vertical) bonds are open with probability $p$, while the radial (horizontal) bonds are open with probability…
We consider a dependent percolation model on the square lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$. The range of dependence is infinite in vertical and horizontal directions. In this context, we prove the existence of a phase transition. The proof exploits a…
The recent proposal by Ben-Zvi, Sakellaridis and Venkatesh of a duality in the relative Langlands program, leads, via the process of quantization of Hamiltonian varieties, to a duality theory of branching problems. This often unexpectedly…
Percolation on a one-dimensional lattice and fractals such as the Sierpinski gasket is typically considered to be trivial because they percolate only at full bond density. By dressing up such lattices with small-world bonds, a novel…
The concept of percolation is combined with a self-consistent treatment of the interaction between the dynamics on a lattice and the external drive. Such a treatment can provide a mechanism by which the system evolves to criticality without…
We investigate the percolation properties of a planar reinforced network model. In this model, at every time step, every vertex chooses $k \ge 1$ incident edges, whose weight is then increased by 1. The choice of this $k$-tuple occurs…
