Abstract: We introduce an extension of the frog model to Euclidean space and prove properties for the spread of active particles. Fix r>0 and place a particle at each point x of a unit intensity Poisson point process mathcalPsubseteqmathbbRdmathbbB(0,r). Around each point in mathcalP, put a ball of radius r. A particle at the origin performs Brownian motion. When it hits the ball around x for some xinmathcalP, new particles begin independent Brownian motions from the centers of the balls in the cluster containing x. Subsequent visits to the cluster do nothing. This waking process continues indefinitely. For r smaller than the critical threshold of continuum percolation, we show that the set of activated points in mathcalP approximates a linearly expanding ball. Moreover, in any fixed ball the set of active particles converges to a unit intensity Poisson point process.
