Continuum percolation at and above the uniqueness treshold on homogeneous spaces

Abstract

We consider the Poisson Boolean model of continuum percolation on a homogeneous Riemannian manifold $M$. Let $lambda$ be intensity of the Poisson process in the model and let $lambd{a}_u$ be the infimum of the set of intensities that a.s. produce a unique unbounded component. We show that above ${\lambda }_u$ there is a.s. a unique unbounded component. We also study what happens at ${\lambda }_u$ for some spaces. In particular, if $M$ is the product of the hyperbolic disc and the real line, then at ${\lambda }_u$ there is a.s. not a unique unbounded component. The results are inspired by results for Bernoulli bond percolation on graphs due to Haggstrom, Peres and Schonmann.
