We consider a stochastic process on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for $d \geq 1$. Given a translation invariant and ergodic starting configuration of finite clusters, each cluster $C$ performs a continuous time simple random walk with rate $|C|^{-\alpha}$. If it attempts to move to a vertex occupied by another cluster, it does not move, and instead the two clusters connect via a new edge. In all dimensions, we show that if $\alpha\ge 0$, there is almost surely no spontaneous creation of an infinite cluster within finite time. Moreover, for any $\alpha\le-1-2/d$ there is a finite-time blowup almost surely. In the regime $\alpha\in(-1,0)$ we show that the behavior greatly depends on the initial configuration. In addition, in dimension one, we establish the exact phase diagram.
We consider the weight-dependent random connection model on a Poisson point process of intensity $\lambda$ on $\mathbb{R}\times(0,1)$ in which the vertices $(x,t)$ and $(y,s)$ are joined precisely when $(t\vee s)|x-y|\le\beta$. Points at distance $d$ are joined with probability $\min(1,\beta/d)^2$, the critical decay o...
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...
We study first-passage percolation on the $\ell$-spread-out one-dimensional cycle of size $n$, where vertices are connected if their graph distance is at most $\ell$. We assign i.i.d.~non-negative random weights from a Weibull distribution $\omega_e \sim \mathrm{Exp}(1)^{1/\theta}$ to the edges for $\theta>0$ fixed. Th...
We study first-passage percolation on the $\ell$-spread-out line graph, where each vertex $i\in\{0,1,\dots,n\}$ is connected to all others at distance at most $\ell$. Here, we focus on the microscopic regime, with $\ell$ fixed as $n\to\infty$. Independent nonnegative weights are assigned to these edges. We obtain a law...
We consider the voter model on the giant component of a hyperbolic random graph, which is a spatial scale-free network, in the sparse and linear-giant regime $\alpha\in(1/2,1)$. We find that the quenched expected consensus time has order $n^{2-1/\alpha}$, as the number of vertices $n\to\infty$, with probability arbitra...
Given a subset $A \subseteq \mathbb F_2^n$, we can consider the distribution of the intersection size of $A$ with a uniformly random $d$-flat $F$. Motivated by the edge statistics problem and the hypercube statistics problem, the affine subspace statistics problem concerns the maximum of $\mathbb{P}[|F\cap A|=s]$ among...
