Bootstrap percolation on a graph with infection threshold $r\in \mathbb{N}$ is an infection process, which starts from a set of initially infected vertices and in each step every vertex with at least $r$ infected neighbours becomes…

We consider Bernoulli (bond) percolation with parameter $p$ on the Cayley tree of order $k$. We introduce the notion of zebra-percolation that is percolation by paths of alternating open and closed edges. In contrast with standard…

Semi-transitive graphs, defined in \cite{hps98} as examples where ``uniform percolation" holds whenever $p>p_c$, are a large class of graphs more general than quasi-transitive graphs. Let $G$ be a semi-transitive graph with one end which…

We prove that for Bernoulli percolation on a graph $\mathbb{Z}^2\times\{0,\dots,k\}$ ($k\ge 0$), there is no infinite cluster at criticality, almost surely. The proof extends to finite range Bernoulli percolation models on $\mathbb{Z}^2$…

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…

We consider supercritical long-range percolation on transitive graphs of polynomial growth. In this model, any two vertices $x$ and $y$ of the underlying graph $G$ connect by a direct edge with probability $1-\exp(-\beta J(x,y))$, where…

Let $G$ be an infinite, connected, locally finite planar graph and consider i.i.d.\ Bernoulli$(p)$ site percolation. Write $p_c^{\mathrm{site}}(G)$ and $p_u^{\mathrm{site}}(G)$ for the critical and uniqueness thresholds. Using a…

The percolated random geometric graph $G_n(\lambda, p)$ has vertex set given by a Poisson Point Process in the square $[0,\sqrt{n}]^2$, and every pair of vertices at distance at most 1 independently forms an edge with probability $p$. For a…

This is a study of percolation in the hyperbolic plane and on regular tilings in the hyperbolic plane. The processes discussed include Bernoulli site and bond percolation on planar hyperbolic graphs, invariant dependent percolations on such…

We study the size of the near-critical window for Bernoulli percolation on $\mathbb Z^d$. More precisely, we use a quantitative Grimmett-Marstrand theorem to prove that the correlation length, both below and above criticality, is bounded…

We study the two most common types of percolation process on a sparse random graph with a given degree sequence. Namely, we examine first a bond percolation process where the edges of the graph are retained with probability p and afterwards…

We answer a question of Benjamini and Schramm by proving that under reasonable conditions, quotienting a graph strictly increases the value of its percolation critical parameter $p_c$. More precisely, let $\mathcal{G}=(V,E)$ be a…

We propose an approach to calculate the critical percolation threshold for finite-sized Erdos-Renyi digraphs using minimal Hamiltonian cycles. We obtain an analytically exact result, valid non-asymptotically for all graph sizes, which…

We consider the Bernoulli bond percolation process $\mathbb{P}_{p,p'}$ on the nearest-neighbor edges of $\mathbb{Z}^d$, which are open independently with probability $p<p_c$, except for those lying on the first coordinate axis, for which…

We prove that for Bernoulli bond percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 2$ the percolation density is an analytic function of the parameter in the supercritical interval $(p_c,1]$. This answers a question of Kesten from 1981.

We locate the critical threshold $p_c$ at which it becomes likely that the complete graph $K_n$ can be obtained from the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph ${\cal G}_{n,p}$ by iteratively completing copies of $K_4$ minus an edge. This refines work of…

We introduce a simple method for proving lower bounds for the size of the smallest percolating set in a certain graph bootstrap process. We apply this method to determine the sizes of the smallest percolating sets in multidimensional tori…

We consider two different objects on super-critical Bernoulli percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ : the time constant for i.i.d. first-passage percolation (for $d\geq 2$) and the isoperimetric constant (for $d=2$). We prove that both objects are…

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…

This article presents a method for finding the critical probability $p_c$ for the Bernoulli bond percolation on graphs with the so-called tree-like structure. Such a graph can be decomposed into a tree of pieces, each of which has finitely…
