Abstract

We consider the geometry of random interlacements on the dd-dimensional lattice. We use ideas from stochastic dimension theory developed in \cite{benjamini2004geometry} to prove the following: Given that two vertices x,yx,y belong to the interlacement set, it is possible to find a path between xx and yy contained in the trace left by at most d/2\lceil d/2 \rceil trajectories from the underlying Poisson point process. Moreover, this result is sharp in the sense that there are pairs of points in the interlacement set which cannot be connected by a path using the traces of at most d/21\lceil d/2 \rceil-1 trajectories.
