Percolation Today is an online seminar aiming to promote the exchange of exciting new ideas on both Bernoulli and dependent percolation processes, at a level appropriate for specialists in the area. We hope to be a focal point to foster new connections and collaborations between the global community of percolation lovers.
You are warmly invited to sign up to our mailing list and attend to our seminars via Zoom.
Robust construction of the incipient infinite cluster in high dimensional critical percolation
Speakers: Philippe Sosoe and Pranav Chinmay
Date: May, 19th / 16:00 CEST
Abstract: We give a new construction of the incipient infinite cluster (IIC) associated with high-dimensional percolation in a broad setting and under minimal assumptions. Our arguments differ substantially from earlier constructions of the IIC; we do not directly use the machinery of the lace expansion or similar diagrammatic expansions. We show that the IIC may be constructed by conditioning on the cluster of a vertex being infinite in the supercritical regime 
and then taking 
. Furthermore, at criticality, we show that the IIC may be constructed by conditioning on a connection to an arbitrary distant set 
, generalizing previous constructions where one conditions on a connection to a single distant vertex or the boundary of a large box.
The input to our proof is the asymptotic for the two-point function obtained by Hara, van der Hofstad, and Slade. Our construction thus applies in all dimensions for which those asymptotics are known, rather than explicitly requiring convergence of a diagrammatic expansion. Our construction will be instrumental in upcoming work related to structural properties and scaling limits of various objects involving high-dimensional percolation clusters at and near criticality.
