We study a particular model of a random medium, called the orthant model, in general dimensions $d\ge 2$. Each site $x\in \Z^d$ independently has arrows pointing to its positive neighbours $x+e_i$, $i=1,\dots, d$ with probability $p$ and…
A well-defined distance on the parameter space is key to evaluating estimators, ensuring consistency, and building confidence sets. While there are typically standard distances to adopt in a continuous space, this is not the case for…
The orthant model is a directed percolation model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, in which all clusters are infinite. We prove a sharp threshold result for this model: if $p$ is larger than the critical value above which the cluster of $0$ is contained…
In this paper we provide general conditions on a one parameter family of random infinite subsets of Z^d to contain a unique infinite connected component for which the chemical distances are comparable to the Euclidean distances, focusing…
We consider long-range percolation in dimension $d\geq 1$, where distinct sites $x$ and $y$ are connected with probability $p_{x,y}\in[0,1]$. Assuming that $p_{x,y}$ is translation invariant and that $p_{x,y}=\|x-y\|^{-s+o(1)}$ with $s>2d$,…
We consider a long-range percolation graph on $\mathbb Z^d$ where, in addition to the nearest-neighbor edges of $\mathbb Z^d$, distinct $x,y\in\mathbb Z^d$ are connected by an edge independently with probability asymptotic to…
We derive an estimate for the distance, measured in lattice spacings, inside two-dimensional critical percolation clusters from the origin to the boundary of the box of side length $2n$, conditioned on the existence of an open connection.…
Gaussian percolation can be seen as the generalization of standard Bernoulli percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. Instead of a random discrete configuration on a lattice, we consider a continuous Gaussian field $f$ and we study the topological…
We study percolation on the hierarchical lattice of order $N$ where the probability of connection between two points separated by distance $k$ is of the form $c_k/N^{k(1+\delta)},\; \delta >-1$. Since the distance is an ultrametric, there…
Our study concerns the large scale geometry of the excursion set of planar random fields: E ${\ell}$ = {x $\in$ R 2 |f (x) $\ge$-${\ell}$}, where ${\ell}$ $\in$ R is a real parameter and f is a continuous, stationary, centered, planar…
We consider the (unoriented) long-range percolation on Z^d in dimensions d\ge1, where distinct sites x,y\in Z^d get connected with probability p_{xy}\in[0,1]. Assuming p_{xy}=|x-y|^{-s+o(1)} as |x-y|\to\infty, where s>0 and |\cdot| is a…
We identify the asymptotic distribution of the chemical distance in high-dimensional critical Bernoulli percolation. Namely, we show that the distance between the origin and a distant vertex conditioned to lie in the cluster of the origin…
The ellipses model is a continuum percolation process in which ellipses with random orientation and eccentricity are placed in the plane according to a Poisson point process. A parameter $\alpha$ controls the tail distribution of the major…
In this note, we describe some of the progress recently made on questions regarding the chemical distance in two-dimensional critical percolation by the author, J. Hanson, and P. Sosoe [6, 7]. It is expected that the distance between points…
We show that random walk on the incipient infinite cluster (IIC) of two-dimensional critical percolation is subdiffusive in the chemical distance (i.e., in the intrinsic graph metric). Kesten (1986) famously showed that this is true for the…
Many real-world networks exhibit the so-called small-world phenomenon: their typical distances are much smaller than their sizes. One mathematical model for this phenomenon is a long-range percolation graph on a $d$-dimensional box $\{0, 1,…
We consider an i.i.d. supercritical bond percolation on Z^d , every edge is open with a probability p > p\_c (d), where p\_c (d) denotes the critical parameter for this percolation. We know that there exists almost surely a unique infinite…
We study the Poisson Boolean model with convex bodies which are rotation-invariant distributed. We assume that the convex bodies have regularly varying diameters with indices $-\alpha_1\geq \dots\geq-\alpha_d$ where $\alpha_k >0$ for all…
We continue our study of the chemical (graph) distance inside large critical percolation clusters in dimension two. We prove new estimates, which involve the three-arm probability, for the point-to-surface and point-to-point distances. We…
We consider the Gaussian free field $\varphi$ on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for $d \geq 3$ and study the level sets $\{\varphi \geq h \}$ in the percolating regime. We prove upper and lower bounds for the probability that the chemical distance is much…
