We identify the asymptotic distribution of the chemical distance in high-dimensional critical Bernoulli percolation. Namely, we show that the distance between the origin and a distant vertex conditioned to lie in the cluster of the origin…
In this article a collection of random self-similar fractal dendrites is constructed, and their Hausdorff dimension is calculated. Previous results determining this quantity for random self-similar structures have relied on geometrical…
We consider random dynamics on a uniform random recursive tree with $n$ vertices. Successively, in a uniform random order, each edge is either set on fire with some probability $p_n$ or fireproof with probability $1-p_n$. Fires propagate in…
We consider inhomogeneous non-oriented Bernoulli bond percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, where each edge has a parameter depending on its direction. We prove that, under certain conditions, if the sum of the parameters is strictly greater than…
Two vertices are said to be finitely connected if they belong to the same cluster and this cluster is finite. We derive sharp asymptotics for finite connection probabilities for supercritical Bernoulli bond percolation on Z^2.
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 high-dimensional percolation at the critical threshold. We condition the origin to be disjointly connected to two points, $x$ and $x'$, and subsequently take the limit as $|x|$, $|x'|$ as well as $|x-x'|$ diverge to infinity.…
We announce our recent proof that, for independent bond percolation in high dimensions, the scaling limits of the incipient infinite cluster's two-point and three-point functions are those of integrated super-Brownian excursion (ISE). The…
The self-destructive percolation model is defined as follows: Consider percolation with parameter $p > p_c$. Remove the infinite occupied cluster. Finally, give each vertex (or, for bond percolation, each edge) that at this stage is vacant,…
We modify the rules of the self-organized critical forest-fire model in one dimension by allowing the fire to jump over holes of $\le k$ sites. An analytic calculation shows that not only the size distribution of forest clusters but also…
This is a survey paper about the fractal percolation process, also known as Mandelbrot percolation. It is intended to give a general breadth overview of more recent research in the topic, but also includes some of the more classical…
Let $F$ be a one-dimensional holomorphic foliation on $\mathbb{P}^n$ such that $W\subset Sing(F)$, where $W$ is a smooth complete intersection variety. We determine and compute the variation of the Milnor number $ \mu(F, W)$ under blowups,…
We study the directed polymer model on infinite clusters of supercritical Bernoulli percolation containing the origin in dimensions $d \geq 3$, and prove that for almost every realization of the cluster and every strictly positive value of…
In the context of percolation in a regular tree, we study the size of the largest cluster and the length of the longest run starting within the first d generations. As d tends to infinity, we prove almost sure and weak convergence results.
Some examples of translation invariant site percolation processes on the $\Z^2$ lattice are constructed, the most far-reaching example being one that satisfies uniform finite energy (meaning that the probability that a site is open given…
Classically, percolation critical exponents are linked to the power laws that characterize percolation cluster fractal properties. It is found here that the gradient percolation power laws are conserved even for extreme gradient values for…
We introduce a technique that uses projection properties of fractal percolation to establish dimension conservation results for sections of deterministic self-similar sets. For example, let $K$ be a self-similar subset of $\mathbb{R}^2$…
We consider the Bernoulli percolation model in a finite box and we introduce an automatic control of the percolation probability, which is a function of the percolation configuration. For a suitable choice of this automatic control, the…
Following \cite{Visintin}, we exploit the fractional perimeter of a set to give a definition of fractal dimension for its measure theoretic boundary. We calculate the fractal dimension of sets which can be defined in a recursive way and we…
We propose a discrete two-dimensional mathematical model for forest fires and we derive certain results describing its limiting behavior. We also pose a relevant open question.
