Consider critical site percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with $d \geq 2$. Cerf (2015) pointed out that from classical work by Aizenman, Kesten and Newman (1987) and Gandolfi, Grimmett and Russo (1988) one can obtain that the two-arms exponent…
Let M_n denote the number of sites in the largest cluster in critical site percolation on the triangular lattice inside a box side length n. We give lower and upper bounds on the probability that M_n / E(M_n) > x of the form exp(- C…
Consider critical site percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with $d \geq 2$. We prove a lower bound of order $n^{- d^2}$ for point-to-point connection probabilities, where $n$ is the distance between the points. Most of the work in our proof…
We introduce a notion of capacity for high dimensional critical percolation by showing that for any finite set $A$, the suitably rescaled probability that the cluster of $z$ intersects $A$ converges as $\|z\|\to\infty$. This can be viewed…
For two-dimensional percolation at criticality, we discuss the inequality $\alpha_4 > 1$ for the polychromatic four-arm exponent (and stronger versions, the strongest so far being $\alpha_4 \geq 1 + \frac{\alpha_2}{2}$, where $\alpha_2$…
We examine the incipient infinite cluster (IIC) of critical percolation in regimes where mean-field behavior has been established, namely when the dimension d is large enough or when d>6 and the lattice is sufficiently spread out. We find…
We provide the first nontrivial upper bound for the chemical distance exponent in two-dimensional critical percolation. Specifically, we prove that the expected length of the shortest horizontal crossing path of a box of side length $n$ in…
We study the alternating $k$-arm incipient infinite cluster (IIC) of site percolation on the triangular lattice $\mathbb{T}$. Using Camia and Newman's result that the scaling limit of critical site percolation on $\mathbb{T}$ is CLE$_6$, we…
We study long-range Bernoulli percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ in which each two vertices $x$ and $y$ are connected by an edge with probability $1-\exp(-\beta \|x-y\|^{-d-\alpha})$. It is a theorem of Noam Berger (CMP, 2002) that if…
We study independent long-range percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ where the vertices $x$ and $y$ are connected with probability $1-e^{-\beta\|x-y\|^{-d-\alpha}}$ for $\alpha > 0$. Provided the critical exponents $\delta$ and $2-\eta$ defined by…
We introduce a method for translating any upper bound on the percolation threshold of a lattice $G$ into a lower bound on the exponential growth rate $a(G)$ of lattice animals and vice-versa. We exploit this in both directions. We improve…
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…
In long-range percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, we connect each pair of distinct points $x$ and $y$ by an edge independently at random with probability $1-\exp(-\beta\|x-y\|^{-d-\alpha})$, where $\alpha>0$ is fixed and $\beta\geq 0$ is a…
We provide a complete proof of the diagrammatic bounds on the lace-expansion coefficients for oriented percolation, which are used in [arXiv:math/0703455] to investigate critical behavior for long-range oriented percolation above…
In recent years, important progress has been made in the field of two-dimensional statistical physics. One of the most striking achievements is the proof of the Cardy-Smirnov formula. This theorem, together with the introduction of…
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 study the size of the near-critical window for Bernoulli percolation on $\mathbb Z^d$. More precisely, we use a quantitative Grimmett-Marstrand theorem to prove that the correlation length, both below and above criticality, is bounded…
We discuss a general method to prove quantitative improvements on correlation inequalities and apply it to arm estimates for Bernoulli bond percolation on the square lattice. Our first result is that the two-arm exponent is strictly larger…
All (in)homogeneous bond percolation models on the square, triangular, and hexagonal lattices belong to the same universality class, in the sense that they have identical critical exponents at the critical point (assuming the exponents…
For the critical level-set of the Gaussian free field on the metric graph of $\mathbb Z^d$, we consider the one-arm probability $\theta_d(N)$, i.e., the probability that the boundary of a box of side length $2N$ is connected to the center.…
