Given a graph $G$, the percolated graph $G_p$ has each edge independently retained with probability $p$. Collares, Diskin, Erde, and Krivelevich initiated the study of large structures in percolated single-scale vertex expander graphs,…

We consider changes in properties of a subgraph of an infinite graph resulting from the addition of open edges of Bernoulli percolation on the infinite graph to the subgraph. We give the triplet of an infinite graph, one of its subgraphs,…

We study the bond percolation on finite graphs induced by the level-sets of zero-average Gaussian free field on the associated metric graph above a given height (level) parameter $h \in \mathbb{R}$. We characterize the near- and…

We study the near-critical behavior of the sparse Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $\mathcal{G}(n,p)$ on $n\gg1$ vertices, where the connection probability $p$ satisfies $np = 1+\theta(b_n^2/n)^{1/3}$, with $n^{3/10}\ll {b_n}\ll n^{1/2}$, and…

The location and nature of the percolation transition in random networks is a subject of intense interest. Recently, a series of graph evolution processes have been introduced that lead to discontinuous percolation transitions where the…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected, locally finite, transitive graph, and consider Bernoulli bond percolation on $G$. In recent work, we conjectured that if $G$ is nonamenable then the matrix of critical connection probabilities…

Recent advances on the glass problem motivate reexamining classical models of percolation. Here, we consider the displacement of an ant in a labyrinth near the percolation threshold on cubic lattices both below and above the upper critical…

In their seminal paper introducing the theory of random graphs, Erd\H{o}s and R\'{e}nyi considered the evolution of the structure of a random subgraph of $K_n$ as the density increases from $0$ to $1$, identifying two key points in this…

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 consider first-passage percolation on the edges of $\mathbb{Z}^2 \times \{1, \cdots, k\},$ namely the slab $\mathbb{S}_k$ of width $k$. Each edge is assigned independently a passage time of either 0 (with probability $p_c(\mathbb{S}_k)$)…

The cover time of a graph is a celebrated example of a parameter that is easy to approximate using a randomized algorithm, but for which no constant factor deterministic polynomial time approximation is known. A breakthrough due to Kahn,…

We analyze Ising/Curie-Weiss models on the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph with $N$ vertices and edge probability $p=p(N)$ that were introduced by Bovier and Gayrard [J.\ Statist.\ Phys., 72(3-4):643--664, 1993] and investigated in two previous…

We study the evolution of the susceptibility in the subcritical random graph $G(n,p)$ as $n$ tends to infinity. We obtain precise asymptotics of its expectation and variance, and show it obeys a law of large numbers. We also prove that the…

We consider the geometric random (GR) graph on the $d-$dimensional torus with the $L_\sigma$ distance measure ($1 \leq \sigma \leq \infty$). Our main result is an exact characterization of the probability that a particular labeled cycle…

A conjecture of Richter and Salazar about graphs that are critical for a fixed crossing number $k$ is that they have bounded bandwidth. A weaker well-known conjecture of Richter is that their maximum degree is bounded in terms of $k$. In…

Let $ \nu $ be a probability distribution over the linear semi-group $ \mathrm{End}(E) $ for $ E $ a finite dimensional vector space over a locally compact field. We assume that $ \nu $ is proximal, strongly irreducible and that $…

A popular question in Bernoulli percolation models is if the probability of connection between two vertices in a transitive graph decays monotonically with the distance between these two vertices. For example, on the square lattice is an…

On a locally finite, infinite tree $T$, let $p_c(T)$ denote the critical probability for Bernoulli percolation. We prove that every positively associated, finite-range dependent percolation model on $T$ with marginals $p > p_c(T)$ must…

The classical result of Erdos and Renyi shows that the random graph G(n,p) experiences sharp phase transition around p=1/n - for any \epsilon>0 and p=(1-\epsilon)/n, all connected components of G(n,p) are typically of size O(log n), while…

We consider directed last-passage percolation on the random graph G = (V,E) where V = Z and each edge (i,j), for i < j, is present in E independently with some probability 0 < p <= 1. To every present edge (i,j) we attach i.i.d. random…
