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.
Critical long-range percolation
Speakers: Tom Hutchcroft
Date: Thursday, October 9th / 16:00h CEST
Abstract: In long-range percolation on Z^d, each pair of vertices is connected by an edge with probability 1-e^{-beta ||x-y||^{-d-alpha}}, where alpha>0 is fixed and beta is the parameter varied to induce a phase transition. As d and alpha vary, the model exhibits several different forms of critical behaviour, with a transition between effectively high-dimensional and effectively low-dimensional behaviour at the upper critical dimension d_c = min(6,3alpha) and a transition between an effectively long-range and effectively short-range regime at a crossover value alpha_c(d). I will discuss a new series of papers establishing a detailed rigorous theory of the model’s critical behaviour across many of these regimes, including all effectively high-dimensional regimes and all effectively long-range regimes (which may be low or critical dimensional). The key input is a new, more probabilistic style of renormalization group method for analysing critical behaviour in long-range models.
