Independent sets in graphs, i.e., subsets of vertices where no two are adjacent, have long been studied, for instance as a model of hard-core gas. The $d$-dimensional hypercube, $\{0,1\}^d$, with the nearest neighbor structure, has been a…
Given a graph $G$, we form a random subgraph $G_p$ by including each edge of $G$ independently with probability $p$. We provide an asymptotic expansion of the expected number of independent sets in random subgraphs of regular bipartite…
Let $Q_{d,p}$ be the random subgraph of the $d$-dimensional hypercube $\{0,1\}^d$, where each edge is retained independently with probability $p$. We study the asymptotic number of independent sets in $Q_{d,p}$ as $d \to \infty$ for a wide…
We consider the constrained-degree percolation (CDP) model on the hypercubic lattice. This is a continuous-time percolation model defined by a sequence $(U_e)_{e\in\mathcal{E}^d}$ of i.i.d. uniform random variables and a positive integer…
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…
Counting independent sets in graphs and hypergraphs under a variety of restrictions is a classical question with a long history. It is the subject of the celebrated container method which found numerous spectacular applications over the…
A random graph model on a host graph H is said to be 1-independent if for every pair of vertex-disjoint subsets A,B of E(H), the state of edges (absent or present) in A is independent of the state of edges in B. For an infinite connected…
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…
For an odd integer $n=2d-1$, let $\mathcal{B}(n, d)$ be the subgraph of the hypercube $Q_n$ induced by the two largest layers. In this paper, we describe the typical structure of independent sets in $\mathcal{B}(n, d)$ and give precise…
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?…
A simple, discrete, parametric model is proposed to describe conditional (correlated) deposition of particles on a surface and formation of a connecting (percolating) cluster. The surface changes spontaneously its properties (phase…
The state space of our model is the Euclidean space in dimension d = 2. Simultaneously, from all points of a homogeneous Poisson point process, we let grow independent and identically distributed random continuum paths. Each path stops…
Bootstrap percolation is an often used model to study the spread of diseases, rumors, and information on sparse random graphs. The percolation process demonstrates a critical value such that the graph is either almost completely affected or…
Consider the problem of determining the maximal induced subgraph in a random $d$-regular graph such that its components remain bounded as the size of the graph becomes arbitrarily large. We show, for asymptotically large $d$, that any such…
We study the random-cluster model on trees and treelike graphs at low temperatures. This is a model of dependent percolation parametrized by an edge probability $p\in (0,1)$ and a clustering weight $q\in [1,\infty)$, generalizing…
We consider a percolation model, the vacant set $\mathcal{V}^u$ of random interlacements on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d \geq 3$, in the regime of parameters $u>0$ in which it is strongly percolative. By definition, such values of $u$ pinpoint a…
We study a random graph model named the "block model" in statistics and the "planted partition model" in theoretical computer science. In its simplest form, this is a random graph with two equal-sized clusters, with a between-class edge…
The study of the Ising model from a percolation perspective has played a significant role in the modern theory of critical phenomena. We consider the celebrated square-lattice Ising model and construct percolation clusters by placing bonds,…
While macroscopic properties of spin glasses have been thoroughly investigated, their manifestation in the corresponding microscopic configurations is much less understood. Cases where both descriptions have been provided, such as…
A set of vertices in a hypergraph is called an independent set if no hyperedge is completely contained inside the set. Given a hypergraph, computing its largest size independent set is an NP-hard problem. In this work, we study the…
