Mean-field bounds for Poisson-Boolean percolation

Abstract

We establish the mean-field bounds $\gamma \ge 1$, $\delta \ge 2$ and $△\ge 2$ on the critical exponents of the Poisson-Boolean continuum percolation model under a moment condition on the radii; these were previously known only in the special case of fixed radii (in the case of $\gamma$), or not at all (in the case of $\delta$ and $△$). We deduce these as consequences of the mean-field bound $\beta \le 1$, recently established by Duminil-Copin, Raoufi and Tassion under the same moment condition, using a relative entropy method introduced by the authors in previous work.
