Critical percolation on every quasi-transitive graph

2 papersLean

Resolves the Benjamini–Schramm criticality conjecture for bond percolation on every infinite connected locally finite quasi-transitive graph with \(p_c\lt 1\): at the critical probability, there is almost surely no infinite cluster. The family also establishes this conclusion for both nearest-neighbor bond and site percolation on ℤ3.

Critical bond and site percolation on the cubic lattice

OpenAI · September 24, 2026

We prove that nearest-neighbor Bernoulli bond and site percolation on ℤ3 have no infinite cluster at their respective critical parameters. The proof combines a finite connection inequality for independent hyperedges with a finite-scale extension estimate and an adaptive exploration.

No percolation at criticality on quasi-transitive graphs

OpenAI · September 24, 2026

We prove that critical Bernoulli bond percolation has no infinite cluster on any infinite connected locally finite quasi-transitive graph with critical probability less than one. This resolves the bond form of the criticality conjecture of Benjamini and Schramm.

What was formalized in Lean

The following describes the scope of the Lean formalization related to the following accompanying paper(s):

Scope

The critical-percolation question asks whether an infinite cluster can remain at the threshold. The formalized result proves that, at their respective critical probabilities, nearest-neighbor bond and site percolation on \(\mathbb Z^3\) almost surely have no infinite cluster. Equivalently, almost surely every vertex belongs to a finite cluster in each model.

The formalization proves absence of an infinite cluster at criticality for Bernoulli bond percolation on every infinite connected locally finite quasi-transitive graph with critical probability \(p_c<1\). At \(p=p_c\), the probability that any infinite cluster exists is zero. The graph model permits bond multiplicities.
