Abstract: We prove the sharpness of the percolation phase transition for a class of Cox percolation models, i.e., models of continuum percolation in a random environment. The key requirements are that the environment has a finite range of dependence and satisfies a local boundedness condition, however the FKG inequality need not hold. The proof combines the OSSS inequality with a coarse-graining construction.

Review text

The authors study the percolation phase transition for a class of Cox percolation models, i.e., models of continuum percolation in a random environment. Generally speaking, the field of continuum percolation deals with the existence and properties of giant connected components of a geometric graph on a stochastic system of points scattered at random in the Euclidean space. Concerning the present paper, its main result shows how to apply the O'Donnell, Saks, Schramm \& Servedio (OSSS) inequality that is a powerful tool for analyzing percolation systems with complex spatial correlations, to establish the sharpness of the phase transition in a Cox percolation model built on a random environment subject to a set of general conditions. Two main features that are required from the environment: a ``factor of iid representation with finite range of dependence and uniform local boundedness of the node intensity. The authors always work in the annealed model where the percolation probabilities average both over the environment and the particle placement. As a prototypical illustration of the general methodology, they apply their results to properly modified models. Here, before building the Delaunay triangulation, they first superimpose the Poisson process of vertices with a sparse grid and impose an upper bound on the spatial device intensity. The main proof combines the OSSS inequality with a coarse-graining construction that allows to compare different notions of influence.
