We consider the Bernoulli bond percolation process (with parameter $p$) on infinite graphs and we give a general criterion for bounded degree graphs to exhibit a non-trivial percolation threshold based either on a single isoperimetric…

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…

This paper is a survey of various results and techniques in first passage percolation, a random process modeling a spreading fluid on an infinite graph. The latter half of the paper focuses on the connection between first passage…

We describe, in an intrinsic way and using the global chart provided by Ito's parallel transport, a generalisation of the notion of geodesic (as critical path of an energy functional) to diffusion processes on Riemannian manifolds. These…

We describe infinite clusters which arise in nearest-neighbour percolation for so-called cocycle measures on the square lattice. These measures arise naturally in the study of random transformations. We show that infinite clusters have a…

We study line ensembles arising naturally in symmetrized/half-space geometric last passage percolation (LPP) on the $N \times N$ square. The weights of the model are geometrically distributed with parameter $q^2$ off the diagonal and $cq$…

Given an infinite connected graph, a way to randomly perturb its metric is to assign random i.i.d. lengths to the edges of the graph. Assume that the graph is infinite and of bounded degree. Assume also strict positivity and finite…
