The contact process on a bipartite spatial network

arXiv:2604.00630

Abstract

We study the contact process on a random bipartite connection hypergraph generated from two Poisson point processes, with mark-dependent connection thresholds. For asymmetric infection rates and asymmetric power law tail decays of the two degree distributions, we determine the dominant survival strategies in all parameter regimes and provide asymptotics for the epidemic probability up to logarithmic factors.
