Abstract: We investigate the problem of embedding infinite binary sequences into Bernoulli site percolation on mathbbZd with parameter p, known also as percolation of words. In 1995, I. Benjamini and H. Kesten proved that, for dgeq10 and p=1/2, all sequences can be embedded, almost surely. They conjectured that the same should hold for dgeq3. In this paper we consider dgeq3 and pin(pc(d),1−pc(d)), where pc(d)<1/2 is the critical threshold for site percolation on mathbbZd. We show that there exists an integer M=M(p), such that, a.s., every binary sequence, for which every run of consecutive {0s} or {1s} contains at least M digits, can be embedded.


Consider the nearest neighbor lattice \(\mathbb Z^d\) with dimension \(d\geq 3\). Assign labels \(0\) or \(1\) to each of its vertices independently, \(1\) with probability \(p\), and \(0\) with probability \(1-p\). Given a configuration of labels, every infinite nearest neighbor vertex self-avoiding path in \(\mathbb Z^d\) defines an infinite sequence of \(0\)'s and \(1\)'s, the labels of its vertices. Such sequences are called embedded in the configuration. \textit{I. Benjamini} and \textit{H. Kesten} [Ann. Probab. 23, No. 3, 1024--1060 (1995; Zbl 0832.60095)] proved that, for \(d\geq 10\) and \(p=\frac 12\), all infinite sequences of \(0\)'s and \(1\)'s are embedded in almost all configurations. The authors of the present paper prove that, for all \(d\geq 3\) and \(p\in(p_c(d),1-p_c(d))\), where \(p_c(d)<\frac 12\) is the critical threshold for site percolation on \(\mathbb Z^d\), there exists \(M=M(p)\) such that all infinite sequences of \(0\)'s and \(1\)'s for which every run of consecutive \(0\)'s or \(1\)'s has length at least \(M\) are embedded in almost all configurations.
