Consider a bipartite random geometric graph on the union of two independent homogeneous Poisson point processes in $d$-space, with distance parameter $r$ and intensities $\lambda,\mu$. We show for $d \geq 2$ that if $\lambda$ is…

We prove that for Bernoulli bond percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 2$ the percolation density is an analytic function of the parameter in the supercritical interval $(p_c,1]$. This answers a question of Kesten from 1981.

We examine the percolation model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ by an approach involving lattice animals and their surface-area-to-volume ratio. For $\beta \in [0,2(d-1))$, let $f(\beta)$ be the asymptotic exponential rate in the number of edges of the…

We numerically study bootstrap percolation on Kleinberg's spatial networks, in which the probability density function of a node to have a long-range link at distance $r$ scales as $P(r)\sim r^{\alpha}$. Setting the ratio of the size of the…

We generalize the random graph evolution process of Bohman, Frieze, and Wormald [T. Bohman, A. Frieze, and N. C. Wormald, Random Struct. Algorithms, 25, 432 (2004)]. Potential edges, sampled uniformly at random from the complete graph, are…

Weighted inequality on the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function is completely understood while it is not well understood for the spherical maximal function. For the power weight $|x|^{\alpha}$, it is known that the spherical maximal operator…

We consider nearest-neighbor self-avoiding walk, bond percolation, lattice trees, and bond lattice animals on ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$. The two-point functions of these models are respectively the generating function for self-avoiding walks from…

We consider critical oriented Bernoulli percolation on the square lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$. We prove a Russo-Seymour-Welsh type result which allows us to derive several new results concerning the critical behavior: - We establish that the…

Consider critical Bernoulli percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for $d$ large; let $y_0, \dots, y_{k-1}$ be $k$ distinct points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We prove that the probability that $\{\lfloor n y_i\rfloor\}_{i=0}^{k-1}$ all lie in the same open…

We provide a new proof of the sharpness of the phase transition for Bernoulli percolation and the Ising model. The proof applies to infinite range models on arbitrary locally finite transitive infinite graphs. For Bernoulli percolation, we…

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…

Despite great progress in the study of critical percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for $d$ large, properties of critical clusters in high-dimensional fractional spaces and boxes remain poorly understood, unlike the situation in two dimensions.…

We prove a sufficient condition for the two-point function of a statistical mechanical model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d > 2$, to be bounded uniformly near a critical point by $|x|^{-(d-2)} \exp [ -c|x| / \xi ]$, where $\xi$ is the correlation…

For two-dimensional percolation at criticality, we discuss the inequality $\alpha_4 > 1$ for the polychromatic four-arm exponent (and stronger versions, the strongest so far being $\alpha_4 \geq 1 + \frac{\alpha_2}{2}$, where $\alpha_2$…

Two related issues are explored for bond percolation on the d-dimensional cubic lattice (with d > 2) and its dual plaquette process. Firstly, for what values of the parameter p does the complement of the infinite open cluster possess an…
