We investigate percolation on a randomly directed lattice, an intermediate between standard percolation and directed percolation, focusing on the isotropic case in which bonds on opposite directions occur with the same probability. We…

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 [9]. We describe our results…

We study a new geometric bootstrap percolation model, line percolation, on the $d$-dimensional integer grid $[n]^d$. In line percolation with infection parameter $r$, infection spreads from a subset $A\subset [n]^d$ of initially infected…

Let Z_N be the number of self-avoiding paths of length N starting from the origin on the infinite cluster obtained after performing Bernoulli percolation on Z^d with parameter p>p_c(Z^d). The object of this paper is to study the connective…

We study cluster sizes in supercritical $d$-dimensional inhomogeneous percolation models with long-range edges -- such as long-range percolation -- and/or heavy-tailed degree distributions -- such as geometric inhomogeneous random graphs…

We study independent long-range percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ where the nearest-neighbor edges are always open and the probability that two vertices $x,y$ with $\|x-y\|>1$ are connected by an edge is proportional to…

In this paper we consider independent site percolation in a triangulation of $\mathbb{R}^2$ given by adding $\sqrt{2}$-long diagonals to the usual graph $\mathbb{Z}^2$. We conjecture that $p_c=\frac{1}{2}$ for any such graph, and prove it…

We consider the random connection model in which an edge between two Poisson points at distance $r$ is present with probability $g(r)$. We conduct an extreme value analysis on this model, namely by investigating the longest edge with at…

The $n$-dimensional binary hypercube is the graph whose vertices are the binary $n$-tuples $\{0, 1\}^n$ and where two vertices are connected by an edge if they differ at exactly one coordinate. We prove that if the edges are assigned…

We consider a long-range percolation model on homogeneous oriented trees with several lengths. We obtain the critical surface as the set of zeros of a specific polynomial with coefficients depending explicitly on the lengths and the degree…

Global physical properties of random media change qualitatively at a percolation threshold, where isolated clusters merge to form one infinite connected component. The precise knowledge of percolation thresholds is thus of paramount…

We consider Bernoulli bond percolation on oriented regular trees, where besides the usual short bonds, all bonds of a certain length are added. Independently, short bonds are open with probability $p$ and long bonds are open with…

We consider the robustness of computational hardness of problems whose input is obtained by applying independent random deletions to worst-case instances. For some classical $NP$-hard problems on graphs, such as Coloring, Vertex-Cover, and…

We investigate the percolation properties of a planar reinforced network model. In this model, at every time step, every vertex chooses $k \ge 1$ incident edges, whose weight is then increased by 1. The choice of this $k$-tuple occurs…

We give exponential upper bounds for $P(S \le k)$, in particular $P(S=0)$, where $S$ is a sum of indicator random variables that are positively associated. These bounds allow, in particular, a comparison with the independent case. We give…

Let $d\ge 3$ be a fixed integer, $p\in (0,1)$, and let $n\geq 1$ be a positive integer such that $dn$ is even. Let $\mathbb{G}(n, d, p)$ be a (random) graph on $n$ vertices obtained by drawing uniformly at random a $d$-regular (simple)…

Let $0<a<b<\infty$ be fixed scalars. Assign independently to each edge in the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$ the value $a$ with probability $p$ or the value $b$ with probability $1-p$. For all $u,v\in\mathbb{Z}^2$, let $T(u,v)$ denote the first…

Given $\omega\ge 1$, let $Z^2_{(\omega)}$ be the graph with vertex set $Z^2$ in which two vertices are joined if they agree in one coordinate and differ by at most $\omega$ in the other. (Thus $Z^2_{(1)}$ is precisely $Z^2$.) Let…

In this article, we study a bond percolation model on a horizontally stretched square lattice, constructed by stretching the distances between the columns of $\mathbb{Z}_+^2$ according to a collection of independent and identically…

Consider critical site percolation on a "nice" planar lattice: each vertex is occupied with probability $p = p_c$, and vacant with probability $1 - p_c$. Now, suppose that additional vacancies ("holes", or "impurities") are created,…
