Percolation for the stable marriage of Poisson and Lebesgue (Q875910)

Consider a stationary Poisson process \(\Xi\) in \(\mathbb R^d\), \(d\geq 2\), of unit intensity. It forms a set of centers claiming a territory of volume \(\alpha \leq 1\) according to some rule which is called allocation. Any point \(x\in\mathbb R^d\) may be allocated to some center \(\xi\in\Xi\), stay unclaimed or lie on the border between several influence regions of points of \(\Xi\). For allocation rules, a notion of stability is introduced as in [\textit{C. Hoffman, A. E. Holroyd} and \textit{Y. Peres}, Ann. Probab. 34, No.~4, 1241--1272 (2006; Zbl 1111.60008)]. The model percolates if the total territory claimed by \(\Xi\) has an unbounded connected subset. Let \(\alpha_p(d)\) be the critical volume \(\alpha\) of allocation regions at which a switch from no percolation to percolation occurs. The following results are proved in the paper: for any \(d\geq 2\), 1) \(\alpha_p(d)>0\) (no percolation for small \(\alpha\)), 2) \(\limsup_{d\to\infty}\alpha_p(d) 2^d\leq 1\), 3) unclaimed sites of \(\mathbb R^d\) percolate for \(\alpha\) small enough.
