In this article we study percolation on the Cayley graph of a free product of groups. The critical probability $p_c$ of a free product $G_1*G_2*...*G_n$ of groups is found as a solution of an equation involving only the expected subcritical…
Let $p_c(\mathbb{Q}_n)$ and $p_c(\mathbb{Z}^n)$ denote the critical values for nearest-neighbour bond percolation on the $n$-cube $\mathbb{Q}_n = \{0,1\}^n$ and on $\Z^n$, respectively. Let $\Omega = n$ for $\mathbb{G} = \mathbb{Q}_n$ and…
A circle packing is a collection of disks with disjoint interiors in the plane. It naturally defines a graph by tangency. It is shown that there exists $p>0$ such that the following holds for every circle packing: If each disk is retained…
We study existence of percolation in the hierarchical group of order $N$, which is an ultrametric space, and transience and recurrence of random walks on the percolation clusters. The connection probability on the hierarchical group for two…
A path in a graph $G$ is called non-self-touching if two vertices are neighbours in the path if and only if they are neighbours in the graph. We investigate the existence of doubly infinite non-self-touching paths in infinite plane graphs.…
We study site and bond percolation on directed simple random graphs with a given degree distribution and derive the expressions for the critical value of the percolation probability above which the giant strongly connected component emerges…
As a generation of the classical percolation, clique percolation focuses on the connection of cliques in a graph, where the connection of two $k$-cliques means that they share at least $l<k$ vertices. In this paper, we develop a theoretical…
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…
Recently, Gross et al. posed the LLC conjecture for the locally log-concavity of the genus distribution of every graph, and provided an equivalent combinatorial version, the CLLC conjecture, on the log-concavity of the generating function…
We study random graphs, both $G(n,p)$ and $G(n,m)$, with random orientations on the edges. For three fixed distinct vertices s,a,b we study the correlation, in the combined probability space, of the events a -> s and s -> b. For G(n,p), we…
Consider an independent site percolation model with parameter $p \in (0,1)$ on $\Z^d,\ d\geq 2$ where there are only nearest neighbor bonds and long range bonds of length $k$ parallel to each coordinate axis. We show that the percolation…
We study the random geometry of first passage percolation on the complete graph equipped with independent and identically distributed edge weights, continuing the program initiated by Bhamidi and van der Hofstad [6]. We describe our results…
We consider a random object that is associated with both random walks and random media, specifically, the superposition of a configuration of subcritical Bernoulli percolation on an infinite connected graph and the trace of the simple…
Following H. Tomita and C. Murakami we propose an analytical model to predict critical probability of percolation. It is based on the excursion set theory which allows us to consider N-dimensional bounded regions. Details are given for the…
We give a short proof that the largest component of the random graph $G(n, 1/n)$ is of size approximately $n^{2/3}$. The proof gives explicit bounds for the probability that the ratio is very large or very small.
Let us consider subcritical Bernoulli percolation on a connected, transitive, infinite and locally finite graph. In this paper, we propose a new (and short) proof of the exponential decay property for the volume of clusters. We do not rely…
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 present an "ultimate" proof of Cardy's formula for the critical percolation on the hexagonal lattice \cite{Smirnov01criticalpercolation}, showing the existence of the universal and conformally invariant scaling limit of crossing…
Classical bond percolation theory studies the conditions for a given point in a random graph to be connected to infinity, or "escape" to infinity, via a sequence of random edges. In this work, we present a higher-dimensional generalization…
In recent years, important progress has been made in the field of two-dimensional statistical physics. One of the most striking achievements is the proof of the Cardy-Smirnov formula. This theorem, together with the introduction of…
