Anchored isoperimetric profile of the infinite cluster in supercritical bond percolation is Lipschitz continuous

We consider an i.i.d. supercritical bond percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, every edge is open with a probability $p > p_c (d)$, where $p_c (d)$ denotes the critical parameter for this percolation. We know that there exists almost surely a unique infinite open cluster $C_p$ [7]. We are interested in the regularity properties in p of the anchored isoperimetric profile of the infinite cluster $C_p$. For $d\ge2$, we prove that the anchored isoperimetric profile defined in [4] is Lipschitz continuous on all intervals $[p_0 , p_1 ] \subset (p_c (d), 1)$.

The maximal flow from a compact convex subset to infinity in first passage percolation on Z^d

We consider the standard first passage percolation model on Z^d with a distribution G on R+ that admits an exponential moment. We study the maximal flow between a compact convex subset A of R^d and infinity. The study of maximal flow is associated with the study of sets of edges of minimal capacity that cut A from infinity. We prove that the rescaled maximal flow between nA and infinity $ϕ$(nA)/n^ (d--1) almost surely converges towards a deterministic constant depending on A. This constant corresponds to the capacity of the boundary $\partial$A of A and is the integral of a deterministic function over $\partial$A. This result was shown in dimension 2 and conjectured for higher dimensions by Garet in [6].

Existence of the anchored isoperimetric profile in supercritical bond percolation in dimension two and higher

Let $d\geq 2$. We consider an i.i.d. supercritical bond percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, every edge is open with a probability $p>p_c(d)$, where $p_c(d)$ denotes the critical point. We condition on the event that $0$ belongs to the infinite cluster $\mathcal{C}_\infty$ and we consider connected subgraphs of $\mathcal{C}_\infty$ having at most $n^d$ vertices and containing $0$. Among these subgraphs, we are interested in the ones that minimize the open edge boundary size to volume ratio. These minimizers properly rescaled converge towards a translate of a deterministic shape and their open edge boundary size to volume ratio properly rescaled converges towards a deterministic constant.

Size of a minimal cutset in supercritical first passage percolation

We consider the standard model of i.i.d. first passage percolation on Z^d given a distribution G on [0, +$\infty$] (including +$\infty$). We suppose that G({0}) > 1 -- p\_c(d), i.e., the edges of positive passage time are in the subcritical regime of percolation on Z^d. We consider a cylinder of basis an hyperrectangle of dimension d -- 1 whose sides have length n and of height h(n) with h(n) negligible compared to n (i.e., h(n)/n $\rightarrow$ 0 when n goes to infinity). We study the maximal flow from the top to the bottom of this cylinder. We already know that the maximal flow renormalized by n^(d--1) converges towards the flow constant which is null in the case G({0}) > 1 -- p\_c (d). The study of maximal flow is associated with the study of sets of edges of minimal capacity that cut the top from the bottom of the cylinder. If we denote by $ψ$\_n the minimal cardinal of such a set of edges, we prove here that $ψ$\_n /n^(d--1) converges almost surely towards a constant.
