In long-range percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, points $x$ and $y$ are connected by an edge with probability $1-\exp(-\beta\|x-y\|^{-d-\alpha})$, where $\alpha>0$ is fixed and $\beta \geq 0$ is a parameter. As $d$ and $\alpha$ vary, the model…
We consider the Constrained-degree percolation model on the hypercubic lattice, $\mathbb L^d=(\mathbb Z^d,\mathbb E^d)$ for $d\geq 3$. It is a continuous time percolation model defined by a sequence, $(U_e)_{e\in\mathbb E^d}$, of i.i.d.…
We study the probability that the origin is connected to the sphere of radius r (an arm event) in critical percolation in high dimensions, namely when the dimension d is large enough or when d>6 and the lattice is sufficiently spread out.…
We present a coupled decreasing sequence of random walks on $ \mathbb Z $ that dominates the edge process of oriented-bond percolation in two dimensions. Using the concept of "random walk in a strip ", we construct an algorithm that…
We show there exists a packing of identical spheres in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with density at least \[ (1-o(1))\frac{d \log d}{2^{d+1}}\, , \] as $d\to\infty$. This improves upon previous bounds for general $d$ by a factor of order $\log d$ and is…
We consider supercritical bond percolation in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for $d \geq 3$. The origin lies in a finite open cluster with positive probability, and, when it does, the diameter of this cluster has an exponentially decaying tail. For each…
We simulate the bond and site percolation models on a simple-cubic lattice with linear sizes up to L=512, and estimate the percolation thresholds to be $p_c ({\rm bond})=0.248\,811\,82(10)$ and $p_c ({\rm site})=0.311\,607\,7(2)$. By…
We start by providing a very simple and elementary new proof of the classical bound due to J. Beck which states that the spherical cap $\mathbb{L}_2$-discrepancy of any $N$ points on the unit sphere $\mathbb S^d$ in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$,…
We study bond percolation in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with an unbounded family of enhancements that enable additional bonds to act as open. A natural question is whether percolation occurs in this model if and only if percolation also occurs in the…
Let the kissing number $K(d)$ be the maximum number of non-overlapping unit balls in $\mathbb R^d$ that can touch a given unit ball. Determining or estimating the number $K(d)$ has a long history, with the value of $K(3)$ being the subject…
Let M_n denote the number of sites in the largest cluster in critical site percolation on the triangular lattice inside a box side length n. We give lower and upper bounds on the probability that M_n / E(M_n) > x of the form exp(- C…
We determine the site and bond percolation thresholds for a system of disordered jammed sphere packings in the maximally random jammed state, generated by the Torquato-Jiao algorithm. For the site threshold, which gives the fraction of…
In independent bond percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with parameter $p$, if one removes the vertices of the infinite cluster (and incident edges), for which values of $p$ does the remaining graph contain an infinite cluster?…
The main focus of this article concerns the strongly percolative regime of the vacant set of random interlacements on $ \mathbb{Z}^d$, with $d \ge 3$. We investigate the occurrence in a large box of an excessive fraction of sites that get…
We present a numerical study for the threshold percolation probability, $p_c$, in the bond percolation model with multiple ranges, in the square lattice. A recent Theorem demonstrated by de Lima {\it et al.} [B. N. B. de Lima, R. P.…
Consider supercritical long-range percolation on $\Z^d$ where two vertices $x,y \in \Z^d$ are connected with probability asymptotic to $\|x-y\|^{-s}$ for some $s>2d$. Conditioned that the origin is in the infinite cluster, we prove a shape…
Fractal percolation has been introduced by Mandelbrot in 1974. We study the two-dimensional case, with integer subdivision index M and survival probability p. It is well known that there exists a non-trivial critical value p_c(M) such that…
For independent nearest-neighbour bond percolation on Z^d with d >> 6, we prove that the incipient infinite cluster's two-point function and three-point function converge to those of integrated super-Brownian excursion (ISE) in the scaling…
In the first paper of this series [S. Torquato, J. Chem. Phys. {\bf 136}, 054106 (2012)], analytical results concerning the continuum percolation of overlapping hyperparticles in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ were obtained,…
The probability that the cluster of the origin in critical site percolation on the triangular grid has diameter larger than $R$ is proved to decay like $R^{-5/48}$ as $R\to\infty$.
