Percolation beyond Z d : the contributions of Oded Schramm ∗

چکیده
Oded Schramm (1961–2008) influenced greatly the development of percolation theory beyond the usual Z setting, in particular the case of nonamenable lattices. Here we review some of his work in this field.

Percolation beyond Z D , Many Questions and a Few Answers
A comprehensive study of percolation in a more general context than the usual Z d setting is proposed, with particular focus on Cayley graphs, almost transitive graphs, and planar graphs. Results concerning uniqueness of innnite clusters and inequalities for the critical value p c are given, and a simple planar example exhibiting uniqueness and non-uniqueness for diierent p > p c is analyzed. N...
متن کاملFirst Passage Percolation Has Sublinear Distance Variance
Let 0 < a < b < ∞, and for each edge e of Zd let ωe = a or ωe = b, each with probability 1/2, independently. This induces a random metric distω on the vertices of Z d, called first passage percolation. We prove that for d > 1 the distance distω(0, v) from the origin to a vertex v, |v| > 2, has variance bounded by C |v|/ log |v|, where C = C(a, b, d) is a constant which may only depend on a, b a...

متن کاملIntroduction to Schramm-Loewner evolution and its application to critical systems
In this short review we look at recent advances in Schramm-Loewner Evolution (SLE) theory and its application to critical phenomena. The application of SLE goes beyond critical systems to other time dependent, scale invariant phenomena such as turbulence, sand-piles and watersheds. Through the use of SLE, the evolution of conformally invariant paths on the complex plane can be followed; hence a...
متن کاملExceptional Planes of Percolation
Consider the standard continuous percolation in R 4 , and choose the parameters so that the induced percolation on a xed two dimensional linear subspace is critical. Although two dimensional critical percolation dies, we show that there are exceptional two dimensional linear subspaces, in which percolation occurs.
