Abstract: Let A be the annulus in R^2 centered at the origin with inner and outer radii r(1-epsilon) and r, respectively. Place points {x_i} in R^2 according to a Poisson process with intensity 1 and let G_A be the random graph with vertex set {x_i} and edges x_ix_j whenever x_i-x_jin A. We show that if the area of A is large, then G_A almost surely has an infinite component. Moreover, if we fix epsilon, increase r and let n_c=n_c(epsilon) be the area of A when this infinite component appears, then n_c o1 as epsilon o 0. This is in contrast to the case of a ``square annulus where we show that n_c is bounded away from 1.
