In 1993 van den Berg and Kesten proved a strict monotonicity theorem for first passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d \ge 2$: given two probability measures $\nu$ and $\tilde{\nu}$ with finite mean, if $\tilde{\nu}$ is strictly more…
We study Bernoulli first-passage percolation (FPP) on the triangular lattice $\mathbb{T}$ in which sites have 0 and 1 passage times with probability $p$ and $1-p$, respectively. Denote by $\mathcal {C}_{\infty}$ the infinite cluster with…
Critical points and singularities are encountered in the study of critical phenomena in probability and physics. We present recent results concerning the values of such critical points and the nature of the singularities for two prominent…
We prove absence of infinite clusters and contours in a class of critical constrained percolation models on the square lattice. The percolation configuration is assumed to satisfy certain hard local constraints, but only weak symmetry and…
Suppose each site independently and randomly chooses some sites around it, and it is weakly (strongly) connected with them (if there choose each other). What is the probability that the weak (strong) connected cluster is infinite? We…
In this article, we study the critical percolation threshold $p_c$ for $d$-regular graphs. It is well-known that $p_c \geq \frac{1}{d-1}$ for such graphs, with equality holding for the $d$-regular tree. We prove that among all…
Zhang found a simple, elegant argument deducing the non-existence of an infinite open cluster in certain lattice percolation models (for example, p=1/2 bond percolation on the square lattice) from general results on the uniqueness of an…
In 1979 Frankl conjectured that in a finite non-trivial union-closed collection of sets there has to be an element that belongs to at least half the sets. We show that this is equivalent to the conjecture that in a finite non-trivial graph…
We define an inhomogeneous percolation model on "ladder graphs" obtained as direct products of an arbitrary graph $G = (V,E)$ and the set of integers $\mathbb{Z}$ (vertices are thought of as having a "vertical" component indexed by an…
The critical group of a graph is a finite abelian group whose order is the number of spanning forests of the graph. This paper provides three basic structural results on the critical group of a line graph. The first deals with connected…
The asymptotic study of percolation on finite transitive graphs is considered. Several questions and very few answers regarding percolation on finite graphs are presented.
The critical group of a graph is a finite abelian group whose order is the number of spanning forests of the graph. For a graph G with a certain reflective symmetry, we generalize a result of Ciucu-Yan-Zhang factorizing the spanning tree…
A subset $D$ of $V$ is \emph{dominating} in $G$ if every vertex of $V-D$ has at least one neighbour in $D;$ let $\gamma(G)$ be the minimum cardinality among all dominating sets in $G.$ A graph $G$ is $\gamma$-$q$-{\it critical} if the…
We derive three critical exponents for Bernoulli site percolation on the on the Uniform Infinite Planar Triangulation (UIPT). First we compute explicitly the probability that the root cluster is infinite. As a consequence, we show that the…
The existence of nonconstant harmonic Dirichlet functions on a Cayley graph of a discrete group is equivalent to the nonvanishing of the first L2-cohomology of the given group. It was first proven by Cheeger and Gromov that such functions…
We study an interacting particle system in which moving particles activate dormant particles linked by the components of critical bond percolation. Addressing a conjecture from Beckman, Dinan, Durrett, Huo, and Junge for a continuous…
We analyze critical phenomena on networks generated as the union of hidden variables models (networks with any desired degree sequence) with arbitrary graphs. The resulting networks are general small-worlds similar to those a` la Watts and…
We investigate the component sizes of the critical configuration model, as well as the related problem of critical percolation on a supercritical configuration model. We show that, at criticality, the finite third moment assumption on the…
In majority bootstrap percolation on a graph G, an infection spreads according to the following deterministic rule: if at least half of the neighbours of a vertex v are already infected, then v is also infected, and infected vertices remain…
Let $(G_n) = \left((V_n,E_n)\right)$ be a sequence of finite connected vertex-transitive graphs with uniformly bounded vertex degrees such that $\lvert V_n \rvert \to \infty$ as $n \to \infty$. We say that percolation on $G_n$ has a sharp…
