The aim of this paper is to give a precise estimate on the tail probability of the visibility function in a germ-grain model: this function is defined as the length of the longest ray starting at the origin that does not intersect an obstacle in a Boolean model. We proceed in two or more dimensions using coverage techniques. Moreover, convergence results involving a type I extreme value distribution are shown in the two particular cases of small obstacles or a large obstacle-free region.

At each point of a Poisson point process of intensity $lambda$ in the hyperbolic place, center a ball of bounded random radius. Consider the probability $P_r$ that from a fixed point, there is some direction in which one can reach distance $r$ without hitting any ball. It is known cite{BJST} that if $lambda$ is strictly smaller than a critical intensity $lambda_{gv}$ then $P_r$ does not go to $0$ as $rto infty$. The main result in this note shows that in the case $lambda=lambda_{gv}$, the probability of reaching distance larger than $r$ decays essentially polynomial, while if $lambda>lambda_{gv}$, the decay is exponential. We also extend these results to various related models.
We consider the Bernoulli Boolean discrete percolation model on the d-dimensional integer lattice. We study sufficient conditions on the distribution of the radii of balls placed at the points of a Bernoulli point process for the absence of percolation, provided that the intensity of the underlying point process is small enough. We also study a Harris graphical procedure to construct, forward in time, particle systems with interactions of infinite range under the assumption that the corresponding generator admits a Kalikow-type decomposition. We do so by using the subcriticality of the boolean model of discrete percolation.
In a previous work, two of the authors proposed a new proof of a well known convergence result for the scaled elementary connected vacant component in the high intensity Boolean model towards the Crofton cell of the Poisson hyperplane process. In this paper, we consider the particular case of the two-dimensional Boolean model where the grains are discs with random radii. We investigate the second-order term in this convergence when the Boolean model and the Poisson line process are coupled on the same probability space. A precise coupling between the Boolean model and the Poisson line process is first established, a result of directional convergence in distribution for the difference of the two sets involved is derived as well.
In this paper we study the metastable behavior of one of the simplest disordered spin system, the random field Curie-Weiss model. We will show how the potential theoretic approach can be used to prove sharp estimates on capacities and metastable exit times also in the case when the distribution of the random field is continuous. Previous work was restricted to the case when the random field takes only finitely many values, which allowed the reduction to a finite dimensional problem using lumping techniques. Here we produce the first genuine sharp estimates in a context where entropy is important.
In this work we study the Poisson Boolean model of percolation in locally compact Polish metric spaces and we prove the invariance of subcritical and supercritical phases under mm-quasi-isometries. In other words, we prove that if the Poisson Boolean model of percolation is subcritical or supercritical (or exhibits phase transition) in a metric space M which is mm-quasi-isometric to a metric space N, then these phases also exist for the Poisson Boolean model of percolation in N. Then we apply these results to understand the phenomenon of phase transition in a large family of metric spaces. Indeed, we study the Poisson Boolean model of percolation in the context of Riemannian manifolds, in a large family of nilpotent Lie groups and in Cayley graphs. Also, we prove the existence of a subcritical phase in Gromov spaces with bounded growth at some scale.
