We prove that for Bernoulli percolation on a graph $\mathbb{Z}^2\times\{0,\dots,k\}$ ($k\ge 0$), there is no infinite cluster at criticality, almost surely. The proof extends to finite range Bernoulli percolation models on $\mathbb{Z}^2$…
We consider two-dimensional dependent dynamical site percolation where sites perform majority dynamics. We introduce the critical percolation function at time t as the infimum density with which one needs to begin in order to obtain an…
The Russo-Seymour-Welsh Theorem for Z^2 bond or T (triangular lattice) site percolation states that at criticality, for all fixed real {\lambda}, the probability of the existence of a horizontal occupied crossing of each rectangle with size…
Scale-free percolation is a percolation model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ which can be used to model real-world networks. We prove bounds for the graph distance in the regime where vertices have infinite degrees. We fully characterize transience vs.…
In this paper we consider independent site percolation in a triangulation of $\mathbb{R}^2$ given by adding $\sqrt{2}$-long diagonals to the usual graph $\mathbb{Z}^2$. We conjecture that $p_c=\frac{1}{2}$ for any such graph, and prove it…
We give an example of an invariant bond percolation process on the slab $\mathbb{Z}^2\times \{0,1\}$ with the property that it has infinitely many clusters whose critical percolation probability is strictly less than $1$. We also show that…
Consider an independent site percolation model with parameter $p \in (0,1)$ on $\Z^d,\ d\geq 2$ where there are only nearest neighbor bonds and long range bonds of length $k$ parallel to each coordinate axis. We show that the percolation…
We prove absence of infinite clusters and contours in a class of critical constrained percolation models on the square lattice. The percolation configuration is assumed to satisfy certain hard local constraints, but only weak symmetry and…
In this paper, we study the critical behavior of percolation on a configuration model with degree distribution satisfying an infinite second-moment condition, which includes power-law degrees with exponent $\tau \in (2,3)$. It is well known…
We consider a geometric percolation process partially motivated by recent work of Hejda and Kala. Specifically, we start with an initial set $X \subseteq \mathbb{Z}^2$, and then iteratively check whether there exists a triangle $T \subseteq…
This paper presents three results on dependent site percolation on the square lattice. First, there exists no positively associated probability measure on {0,1}^{Z^2} with the following properties: a) a single infinite 0cluster exists…
We prove that critical percolation has no infinite clusters almost surely on any unimodular quasi-transitive graph satisfying a return probability upper bound of the form $p_n(v,v) \leq \exp\left[-\Omega(n^\gamma)\right]$ for some…
Zhang found a simple, elegant argument deducing the non-existence of an infinite open cluster in certain lattice percolation models (for example, p=1/2 bond percolation on the square lattice) from general results on the uniqueness of an…
We consider the percolation problem of sites on an $L\times L$ square lattice with periodic boundary conditions which were unvisited by a random walk of $N=uL^2$ steps, i.e. are vacant. Most of the results are obtained from numerical…
The stochastic addition of either vertices or connections in a network leads to the observation of the percolation transition, a structural change with the appearance of a connected component encompassing a finite fraction of the system.…
An important conjecture in percolation theory is that almost surely no infinite cluster exists in critical percolation on any transitive graph for which the critical probability is less than 1. Earlier work has established this for the…
We continue our study of the chemical (graph) distance inside large critical percolation clusters in dimension two. We prove new estimates, which involve the three-arm probability, for the point-to-surface and point-to-point distances. We…
We investigate the percolation properties of equatorial strips in the two-dimensional O(3) nonlinear $\sigma$ model. We find convincing evidence that such strips do not percolate at low temperatures, provided they are sufficiently narrow.…
We prove that for a non-amenable, locally finite, connected, transitive, planar graph with one end, any automorphism invariant site percolation on the graph does not have exactly 1 infinite 1-cluster and exactly 1 infinite 0-cluster a.s. If…
Ever since J.M. Hammersley showed the existence of phase-transitions regarding independent bond percolation on general $d \geq 2$ dimensional integer-lattices in the late 50's, the continuity (or discontinuity) of which is perhaps the most…
