Consider a uniformly random regular graph of a fixed degree $d\ge3$, with $n$ vertices. Suppose that each edge is open (closed), with probability $p(q=1-p)$, respectively. In 2004 Alon, Benjamini and Stacey proved that $p^*=(d-1)^{-1}$ is…

A 1-independent bond percolation model on a graph $G$ is a probability distribution on the spanning subgraphs of $G$ in which, for all vertex-disjoint sets of edges $S_1$ and $S_2$, the states of the edges in $S_1$ are independent of the…

We investigate locality of the supercritical regime for Bernoulli percolation on transitive graphs with polynomial growth, by which we mean the following. Take a transitive graph of polynomial growth $\mathscr{G}$ satisfying…

In this paper we determine the percolation threshold for an arbitrary sequence of dense graphs $(G_n)$. Let $\lambda_n$ be the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of $G_n$, and let $G_n(p_n)$ be the random subgraph of $G_n$ obtained…

Let $(G_n)_{n \geq 1} = ((V_n,E_n))_{n \geq 1}$ be a sequence of finite, connected, vertex-transitive graphs with volume tending to infinity. We say that a sequence of parameters $(p_n)_{n \geq 1}$ in $[0,1]$ is supercritical with respect…

Given a graph $G$ and $p\in [0,1]$, the random subgraph $G_p$ is obtained by retaining each edge of $G$ independently with probability $p$. We show that for every $\epsilon>0$, there exists a constant $C>0$ such that the following holds.…

We study the giant component problem slightly above the critical regime for percolation on Poissonian random graphs in the scale-free regime, where the vertex weights and degrees have a diverging second moment. Critical percolation on…

We study a random graph $G$ with given degree sequence $\boldsymbol{d}$, with the aim of characterising the degree sequence of the subgraph induced on a given set $S$ of vertices. For suitable $\boldsymbol{d}$ and $S$, we show that the…

In $r$-neighbor bootstrap percolation on the vertex set of a graph $G$, a set $A$ of initially infected vertices spreads by infecting, at each time step, all uninfected vertices with at least $r$ previously infected neighbors. When the…

We provide a complete description of the giant component of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G(n,p)$ as soon as it emerges from the scaling window, i.e., for $p = (1+\epsilon)/n$ where $\epsilon^3 n \to \infty$ and $\epsilon=o(1)$. Our…

Analogous to the case of the binomial random graph $G(d+1,p)$, it is known that the behaviour of a random subgraph of a $d$-dimensional hypercube, where we include each edge independently with probability $p$, which we denote by $Q^d_p$,…

Understanding what types of phenomena lead to discontinuous phase transitions in the connectivity of random networks is an outstanding challenge. Here we show that a simple stochastic model of graph evolution leads to a discontinuous…

Given a graph $G$ and probability $p$, we form the random subgraph $G_p$ by retaining each edge of $G$ independently with probability $p$. Given $d\in\mathbb{N}$ and constants $0<c<1, \varepsilon>0$, we show that if every subset $S\subseteq…

We show that for all $d\in \{3,\ldots,n-1\}$ the size of the largest component of a random $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices around the percolation threshold $p=1/(d-1)$ is $\Theta(n^{2/3})$, with high probability. This extends known…
