An OSSS-type inequality for uniformly drawn subsets of fixed size

Jacob van den Berg, Henk Don

The OSSS inequality [O'Donnell, Saks, Schramm and Servedio, 46th Annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS'05), Pittsburgh (2005)] gives an upper bound for the…

Boundary rules and breaking of self-organized criticality in 2D frozen percolation

Jacob van den Berg, Pierre Nolin

We study frozen percolation on the (planar) triangular lattice, where connected components stop growing ("freeze") as soon as their "size" becomes at least , for some parameter…

Stochastic Domination in Space-Time for the Contact Process

Jacob van den Berg, Stein Andreas Bethuelsen

Liggett and Steif (2006) proved that, for the supercritical contact process on certain graphs, the upper invariant measure stochastically dominates an i.i.d.\ Bernoulli product mea…

Two-dimensional volume-frozen percolation: deconcentration and prevalence of mesoscopic clusters

Jacob van den Berg, Demeter Kiss, Pierre Nolin

Frozen percolation on the binary tree was introduced by Aldous around fifteen years ago, inspired by sol-gel transitions. We investigate a version of the model on the triangular la…

The expected number of critical percolation clusters intersecting a line segment

Jacob van den Berg, Rene Conijn

We study critical percolation on a regular planar lattice. Let be the expected number of open clusters intersecting or hitting the line segment . (For the subscript…

Two-dimensional volume-frozen percolation: exceptional scales

Jacob van den Berg, Pierre Nolin

We study a percolation model on the square lattice, where clusters "freeze" (stop growing) as soon as their volume (i.e. the number of sites they contain) gets larger than N, the p…

The gaps between the sizes of large clusters in 2D critical percolation

Jacob van den Berg, Rene Conijn

Consider critical bond percolation on a large 2n by 2n box on the square lattice. It is well-known that the size (i.e. number of vertices) of the largest open cluster is, with high…

Sharpness versus robustness of the percolation transition in 2D contact processes

J. van den Berg, J. E. Björnberg, M. Heydenreich

We study versions of the contact process with three states, and with infections occurring at a rate depending on the overall infection density. Motivated by a model described in [1…

Escape of resources in distributed clustering processes

J. van den Berg, M. R. Hilário, Alexander E. Holroyd

In a distributed clustering algorithm introduced by Coffman, Courtois, Gilbert and Piret \cite{coffman91}, each vertex of receives an initial amount of a resource, a…

Sublinearity of the travel-time variance for dependent first-passage percolation

Jacob van den Berg, Demeter Kiss

Let be the set of edges of the -dimensional cubic lattice , with , and let , be nonnegative values. The passage time from a vertex to…

A percolation process on the square lattice where large finite clusters are frozen

Jacob van den Berg, Bernardo N. B. de Lima, Pierre Nolin

Aldous constructed a growth process for the binary tree where clusters freeze as soon as they become infinite. It was pointed out by Benjamini and Schramm that such a process does…

Sharpness of the percolation transition in the two-dimensional contact process

J. van den Berg

For ordinary (independent) percolation on a large class of lattices it is well known that below the critical percolation parameter the cluster size distribution has exponenti…

The size of a pond in 2D invasion percolation

Jacob van den Berg, Antal A. Járai, Bálint Vágvölgyi

We consider invasion percolation on the square lattice. It has been proved by van den Berg, Peres, Sidoravicius and Vares, that the probability that the radius of a so-called pond…

Proof of a conjecture of N. Konno for the 1D contact process

J. van den Berg, O. Häggström, J. Kahn

Consider the one-dimensional contact process. About ten years ago, N. Konno stated the conjecture that, for all positive integers , the upper invariant measure has the followi…
