In this paper we consider independent site percolation in a triangulation of $\mathbb{R}^2$ given by adding $\sqrt{2}$-long diagonals to the usual graph $\mathbb{Z}^2$. We conjecture that $p_c=\frac{1}{2}$ for any such graph, and prove it…
A region of two-dimensional space has been filled randomly with large number of growing circular discs allowing only a `slight' overlapping among them just before their growth stop. More specifically, each disc grows from a nucleation…

We study percolation and the random cluster model on the triangular lattice with 3-body interactions. Starting with percolation, we generalize the star--triangle transformation: We introduce a new parameter (the 3-body term) and identify…

We study the contact process on spatially embedded networks, consisting of a regular square lattice with long-range connections. To generate the networks, a long-range connection is randomly added to each node $i$ of a square lattice,…
Extensive Monte-Carlo simulations were performed in order to determine the precise values of the critical thresholds for site ($p^{hcp}_{c,S} = 0.199 255 5 \pm 0.000 001 0$) and bond ($p^{hcp}_{c,B} = 0.120 164 0 \pm 0.000 001 0$)…

We prove a remarkable combinatorial symmetry in the number of spanning configurations in site percolation: for a large class of lattices, the number of spanning configurations with an odd or even number of occupied sites differs by $\pm 1$.…
Percolation is a model for random damage to a network. It is one of the simplest models that displays a phase transition: when the network is severely damaged, it falls apart in many small connected components, while if the damage is light,…
