Abstract: We consider both a discrete and continuous variant of long-range percolation on $mathbb{R}^d$ in which an edge between two points at distance $r$ is present with probability $$. We elucidate yet unrevealed properties these models exhibit, namely by investigating the longest edge with at least one endpoint within some finite observation window, as the volume of this window tends to infinity. We show that the length of the latter in the continuous model, after normalizing by some appropriate centering and scaling sequences, asymptotically behaves like one of each of the three extreme value distributions, depending on choices of the probability $$. In the discrete variant the results are more intriguing as we encounter subtle differences to the continuous model. In particular, our results highlight an unexpected behavior of the longest edge in the Fr'echet case when $d=1$ and $alpha=2$ in discrete long-range percolation. Parts of the proof employ the Chen-Stein method, a general result on Poisson approximation related to Stein's method and Palm calculus.
