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.

Rigidity of harmonic functions on the supercritical percolation cluster
Speaker: Ahmed Bou-Rabee and Paul Dario
Date: April 4th, 2023, 16.30 CEST
Abstract:
On the lattice Z^d the function x -> x_1 is harmonic. It also happens to be Lipschitz and integer-valued. Can a non-constant harmonic function with either of these properties exist on the infinite cluster in supercritical Bernoulli bond percolation? One of our main results answers this question in the negative.
In the first part of this talk, we will give an overview of our results, the main ideas involved, and open questions stemming from it. We also describe our motivation — broadly, we would like to understand how randomness in the graph can affect the qualitative behavior of the graph Laplacian. Some of our results also have implications for the Abelian sandpile model on the infinite cluster.
In the second part, we will give a detailed sketch of the proofs.
The talk is based on https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.04736
