Recently, Holmes and Perkins identified conditions which ensure that for a class of critical lattice models the scaling limit of the range is the range of super-Brownian motion. One of their conditions is an estimate on a spatial moment of order higher than four, which they verified for the sixth moment for spread-out lattice trees in dimensions $d>8$. Chen and Sakai have proved the required moment estimate for spread-out critical oriented percolation in dimensions $d+1>4+1$. We prove estimates on all moments for the spread-out critical contact process in dimensions $d>4$, which in particular fulfills the spatial moment condition of Holmes and Perkins. Our method of proof is relatively simple, and, as we show, it applies also to oriented percolation and lattice trees. Via the convergence results of Holmes and Perkins, the upper bounds on the spatial moments can in fact be promoted to asymptotic formulas with explicit constants.
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.
We consider an inhomogeneous oriented percolation model introduced by de Lima, Rolla and Valesin. In this model, the underlying graph is an oriented rooted tree in which each vertex points to each of its $d$ children with `short edges, and in addition, each vertex points to each of its $d^k$ descendant at a fixed distance $k$ with `long edges. A bond percolation process is then considered on this graph, with the prescription that independently, short edges are open with probability $p$ and long edges are open with probability $q$. We study the behavior of the critical curve $q_c(p)$: we find the first two terms in the expansion of $q_c(p)$ as $k to infty$, and prove that the critical curve lies strictly above the critical curve of a related branching process, in the relevant parameter region. We also prove limit theorems for the percolation cluster in the supercritical, subcritical and critical regimes.
We provide a complete proof of the diagrammatic bounds on the lace-expansion coefficients for oriented percolation, which are used in [arXiv:math/0703455] to investigate critical behavior for long-range oriented percolation above 2min{alpha,2} spatial dimensions.
Consider nearest-neighbor oriented percolation in $d+1$ space-time dimensions. Let $rho,eta, u$ be the critical exponents for the survival probability up to time $t$, the expected number of vertices at time $t$ connected from the space-time origin, and the gyration radius of those vertices, respectively. We prove that the hyperscaling inequality $d ugeeta+2rho$, which holds for all $dge1$ and is a strict inequality above the upper-critical dimension 4, becomes an equality for $d=1$, i.e., $ u=eta+2rho$, provided existence of at least two among $rho,eta, u$. The key to the proof is the recent result on the critical box-crossing property by Duminil-Copin, Tassion and Teixeira (2017).
In high dimensional percolation at parameter $p < p_c$, the one-arm probability $pi_p(n)$ is known to decay exponentially on scale $(p_c - p)^{-1/2}$. We show the same statement for the ratio $pi_p(n) / pi_{p_c}(n)$, establishing a form of a hypothesis of scaling theory. As part of our study, we provide sharp estimates (with matching upper and lower bounds) for several quantities of interest at the critical probability $p_c$. These include the tail behavior of volumes of, and chemical distances within, spanning clusters, along with the scaling of the two-point function at mesoscopic distance from the boundary of half-spaces. As a corollary, we obtain the tightness of the number of spanning clusters of a diameter $n$ box on scale $n^{d-6}$; this result complements a lower bound of Aizenman.
