We study the probability that a loop is null-homotopic -- that is, bounded by the continuous image of a disk -- in plaquette percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^3.$ Locally, the event that there is a ``horizontal disk crossing'' of a rectangular…

We study percolation problems of overlapping objects where the underlying geometry is such that in D-dimensions, a subset of the directions has a lattice structure, while the remaining directions have a continuum structure. The resulting…
