One of the most well-known classical results for site percolation on the square lattice is the equation $p_c+p_c^*=1$. In words, this equation means that for all values $\neq p_c$ of the parameter $p$, the following holds: either a.s. there…

Any infinite graph has site and bond percolation critical probabilities satisfying $p_c^{site}\geq p_c^{bond}$. The strict version of this inequality holds for many, but not all, infinite graphs. In this paper, the class of graphs for which…

Corner percolation is a dependent bond percolation model on Z^2 introduced by B\'alint T\'oth, in which each vertex has exactly two incident edges, perpendicular to each other. G\'abor Pete has proven in 2008 that under the maximal entropy…

This work analyzes a percolation model on the diamond hierarchical lattice (DHL), where the percolation transition is retarded by the inclusion of a probability of erasing specific connected structures. It has been inspired by the recent…

The social percolation model \citep{solomon-et-00} considers a 2-dimensional regular lattice. Each site is occupied by an agent with a preference $x_{i}$ sampled from a uniform distribution $U[0,1]$. Agents transfer the information about…

We consider the percolation problem of sites on an $L\times L$ square lattice with periodic boundary conditions which were unvisited by a random walk of $N=uL^2$ steps, i.e. are vacant. Most of the results are obtained from numerical…

Given $\alpha \in (0, \infty)$ and $r \in (0, \infty)$, let ${\cal D}_{r, \alpha}$ be the disc of radius $r$ in the hyperbolic plane having curvature $-\alpha^2$. Consider the Poisson point process having uniform intensity density on ${\cal…

Consider a uniform expanders family G_n with a uniform bound on the degrees. It is shown that for any p and c>0, a random subgraph of G_n obtained by retaining each edge, randomly and independently, with probability p, will have at most one…

We consider the model of i.i.d. first passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ : we associate with each edge $e$ of the graph a passage time $t(e)$ taking values in $[0,+\infty]$, such that $\mathbb{P}[t(e)<+\infty] >p_c(d)$. Equivalently, we…

We prove a nonuniqueness theorem for Bernoulli site percolation on properly embedded planar graphs, and we obtain a general connectivity principle beyond planarity. Let $G$ be an infinite connected graph properly embedded in $\RR^2$ with…

We show that for all p>p_c(\Z^d) percolation parameters, the probability that the cluster of the origin is finite but has at least t vertices at distance one from the infinite cluster is exponentially small in t. We use this to give a short…

For a general class of percolation models with long-range correlations on $\mathbb Z^d$, $d\geq 2$, introduced in arXiv:1212.2885, we establish regularity conditions of Barlow arXiv:math/0302004 that mesoscopic subballs of all large enough…

We study constrained percolation models on planar lattices including the $[m,4,n,4]$ lattice and the square tilings of the hyperbolic plane, satisfying certain local constraints on faces of degree 4, and investigate the existence of…

In the Constrained-degree percolation model on a graph $(\mathbb{V},\mathbb{E})$ there are a sequence, $(U_e)_{e\in\mathbb{E}}$, of i.i.d. random variables with distribution $U[0,1]$ and a positive integer $k$. Each bond $e$ tries to open…

We investigate random interlacements on Z^d, d bigger or equal to 3. This model recently introduced in arXiv:0704.2560 corresponds to a Poisson cloud on the space of doubly infinite trajectories modulo time-shift tending to infinity at…

Using a maximum entropy principle to assign a statistical weight to any graph, we introduce a model of random graphs with arbitrary degree distribution in the framework of standard statistical mechanics. We compute the free energy and the…
