The Heavy-tailed Frog Model

We study the frog model on $\mathbb Z^d$ and on the discrete tori $\mathbb T_L^d$, $d\ge 2$, with a symmetric, translation-invariant, and heavy-tailed transition kernel satisfying \[ Q(x,y)\asymp |x-y|^{-(d+\alpha)}, \qquad \alpha>0. \] Starting from an i.i.d. Poisson$(\lambda)$ number of sleeping particles per site an...
