Linear speed large deviations for percolation clusters

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let C_n be the origin-containing cluster in subcritical percolation on the lattice (1/n) Z^d, viewed as a random variable in the space Omega of compact, connected, origin-containing subsets of R^d, endowed with the Hausdorff metric delta. When d >= 2, and Gamma is any open subset of Omega, we prove: lim_{n o infty}(1/n) log P(C_n in Gamma) = -inf_{S in Gamma} lambda(S) where lambda(S) is the one-dimensional Hausdorff measure of S defined using the {em correlation norm}: ||u|| := lim_{n o infty} - frac{1}{n} log P (u_n in C_n) where u_n is u rounded to the nearest element of (1/n)Z^d. Given points a^1, >..., a^k in R^d, there are finitely many correlation-norm Steiner trees spanning these points and the origin. We show that if the C_n are each conditioned to contain the points a^1_n,..., a^k_n, then the probability that C_n fails to approximate one of these trees decays exponentially in n.
