Percolation is the simplest fundamental model in statistical mechanics that exhibits phase transitions signaled by the emergence of a giant connected component. Despite its very simple rules, percolation theory has successfully been applied…
Percolation has long served as a model for diverse phenomena and systems. The percolation transition, that is, the formation of a giant cluster on a macroscopic scale, is known as one of the most robust continuous transitions. Recently,…
Percolation models describe the inside of a porous material. The theory emerged timidly in the middle of the twentieth century before becoming one of the major objects of interest in probability and mathematical physics. The golden age of…
During the past two decades, percolation has long served as a basic paradigm for network resilience, community formation and so on in complex systems. While the percolation transition is known as one of the most robust continuous…
We study gradient percolation for site percolation on the triangular lattice. This is a percolation model where the percolation probability depends linearly on the location of the site. We prove the results predicted by physicists for this…
Percolation is the paradigm for random connectivity and has been one of the most applied statistical models. With simple geometrical rules a transition is obtained which is related to magnetic models. This transition is, in all dimensions,…
A problem of the crossover from percolation to diffusion transport is considered. A general scaling theory is proposed. It introduces phenomenologically four critical exponents which are connected by two equations. One exponent is…
In this article, I give a pedagogical introduction and overview of percolation theory. Special emphasis will be put on the review of some of the most prominent of the algorithms that have been devised to study percolation numerically. At…
Carrying digital information in traditional copper wires is becoming a major issue in electronic circuits. Optical connections such as fiber optics offers unprecedented transfer capacity, but the mismatch between the optical wavelength and…
Percolation theory and the associated conductance networks have provided deep insights into the flow and transport properties of a vast number of heterogeneous materials and media. In practically all cases, however, the conductance of the…
The aim of these notes is to give a quick introduction to FK-percolation, focusing on certain recent results about the phase transition of the two dimensional model, namely its continuity or discontinuity depending on the cluster weight…
Percolation is one of the simplest and nicest models in probability theory/statistical mechanics which exhibits critical phenomena. Dynamical percolation is a model where a simple time dynamics is added to the (ordinary) percolation model.…
In this article we study the sharpness of the phase transition for percolation models defined on top of planar spin systems. The two examples that we treat in detail concern the Glauber dynamics for the Ising model and a Dynamic Bootstrap…
In [Muhl2019], Peter M\"uhlbacher showed that in the random loop model without loop weights, a loop phase transition (assuming it exists) cannot occur at the same parameter as the percolation phase transition of the occupied edges. In this…
The basic notion of percolation in physics assumes the emergence of a giant connected (percolation) cluster in a large disordered system when the density of connections exceeds some critical value. Until recently, the percolation phase…
Ever since J.M. Hammersley showed the existence of phase-transitions regarding independent bond percolation on general $d \geq 2$ dimensional integer-lattices in the late 50's, the continuity (or discontinuity) of which is perhaps the most…
In this paper we review the recent advances on explosive percolation, a very sharp phase transition first observed by Achlioptas et al. (Science, 2009). There a simple model was proposed, which changed slightly the classical percolation…
In the last two decades, network science has blossomed and influenced various fields, such as statistical physics, computer science, biology and sociology, from the perspective of the heterogeneous interaction patterns of components…
Toninelli, Biroli, and Fisher recently introduced the knights model, a correlated percolation system (Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 035702 (2006)). They claimed to prove that the critical point of this model was the same as that for directed…
