Percolation model, critical parameter, phase transitions, exponential decay.
A percolation process models the distribution and transport of fluids in porous media. The variation of a model parameter reveals the existence of, generally, two phases, one called subcritical and the other called supercritical. These phases bear distinct global characteristics and the transition between phases takes place at a critical value for the model parameter. The present work aims at presenting new proofs for some classical results of Bond Bernoulli Percolation, namely: exponential decay of the radius of the cluster at the origin in subcritical phase and a lower bound on probability of percolation. The considerations and proofs we follow are due to Hugo Duminil-Copin and Vincent Tassion in their paper “A New Proof of the Sharpness of the Phase Transition for Bernoulli Percolation and the Ising Model” published on the Journal of Mathematical Physics in 2016.
