We consider instances of long-range percolation on $mathbb Z^d$ and $mathbb R^d$, where points at distance $r$ get connected by an edge with probability proportional to $r^{-s}$, for $sin (d,2d)$, and study the asymptotic of the graph-theoretical (a.k.a. chemical) distance $D(x,y)$ between $x$ and $y$ in the limit as $|x-y|toinfty$. For the model on $mathbb Z^d$ we show that, in probability as $|x|toinfty$, the distance $D(0,x)$ is squeezed between two positive multiples of $(log r)^Delta$, where $Delta:=1/log_2(1/gamma)$ for $gamma:=s/(2d)$. For the model on $mathbb R^d$ we show that $D(0,xr)$ is, in probability as $rtoinfty$ for any nonzero $xinmathbb R^d$, asymptotic to $phi(r)(log r)^Delta$ for $phi$ a positive, continuous (deterministic) function obeying $phi(r^gamma)=phi(r)$ for all $r>1$. The proof of the asymptotic scaling is based on a subadditive argument along a continuum of doubly-exponential sequences of scales. The results strengthen considerably the conclusions obtained earlier by the first author. Still, significant open questions remain.

We consider random walk and self-avoiding walk whose 1-step distribution is given by $D$, and oriented percolation whose bond-occupation probability is proportional to $D$. Suppose that $D(x)$ decays as $|x|^{-d-alpha}$ with $alpha>0$. For random walk in any dimension $d$ and for self-avoiding walk and critical/subcritical oriented percolation above the common upper-critical dimension $d_{mathrm{c}}equiv2(alphawedge2)$, we prove large-$t$ asymptotics of the gyration radius, which is the average end-to-end distance of random walk/self-avoiding walk of length $t$ or the average spatial size of an oriented percolation cluster at time $t$. This proves the conjecture for long-range self-avoiding walk in [Ann. Inst. H. Poincar{e} Probab. Statist. (2010), to appear] and for long-range oriented percolation in [Probab. Theory Related Fields 142 (2008) 151--188] and [Probab. Theory Related Fields 145 (2009) 435--458].
We prove that the Fourier transform of the properly-scaled normalized two-point function for sufficiently spread-out long-range oriented percolation with index alpha>0 converges to e^{-C|k|^{alphawedge2}} for some Cin(0,infty) above the upper-critical dimension 2(alphawedge2). This answers the open question remained in the previous paper [arXiv:math/0703455]. Moreover, we show that the constant C exhibits crossover at alpha=2, which is a result of interactions among occupied paths. The proof is based on a new method of estimating fractional moments for the spatial variable of the lace-expansion coefficients.
The arboreal gas is the probability measure on (unrooted spanning) forests of a graph in which each forest is weighted by a factor $beta>0$ per edge. It arises as the $qto 0$ limit with $p=beta q$ of the $q$-state random cluster model. We prove that in dimensions $dgeq 3$ the arboreal gas undergoes a percolation phase transition. This contrasts with the case of $d=2$ where all trees are finite for all $beta>0$. The starting point for our analysis is an exact relationship between the arboreal gas and a fermionic non-linear sigma model with target space $mathbb{H}^{0|2}$. This latter model can be thought of as the $0$-state Potts model, with the arboreal gas being its random cluster representation. Unlike the $q>0$ Potts models, the $mathbb{H}^{0|2}$ model has continuous symmetries. By combining a renormalisation group analysis with Ward identities we prove that this symmetry is spontaneously broken at low temperatures. In terms of the arboreal gas, this symmetry breaking translates into the existence of infinite trees in the thermodynamic limit. Our analysis also establishes massless free field correlations at low temperatures and the existence of a macroscopic tree on finite tori.
We consider self-avoiding walk, percolation and the Ising model with long and finite range. By means of the lace expansion we prove mean-field behavior for these models if $d>2(alphawedge2)$ for self-avoiding walk and the Ising model, and $d>3(alphawedge2)$ for percolation, where $d$ denotes the dimension and $alpha$ the power-law decay exponent of the coupling function. We provide a simplified analysis of the lace expansion based on the trigonometric approach in Borgs et al. (2007)
We prove that for Bernoulli percolation on $mathbb{Z}^d$, $dgeq 2$, the percolation density is an analytic function of the parameter in the supercritical interval. For this we introduce some techniques that have further implications. In particular, we prove that the susceptibility is analytic in the subcritical interval for all transitive short- or long-range models, and that $p_c^{bond} <1/2$ for certain families of triangulations for which Benjamini & Schramm conjectured that $p_c^{site} leq 1/2$.
