Date: December 2, 2026 (Wednesday) at 4PM (UK time)

Speaker: Prof. Philip Easo, University of Geneva, Switzerland

Topic: Supercritical sharpness of percolation

About the Talk: Prof. Philip Easo is a mathematician working in probability theory, with particular interests in percolation and random processes on transitive graphs. In this talk, he will introduce Bernoulli percolation, one of the fundamental models of probability theory, and explain the phase transition between the subcritical and supercritical regimes. A classical theorem says that below the critical probability, the chance of seeing a large connected cluster decays exponentially with its size. The talk will discuss recent joint work (see https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.03257) of Easo, Sahar Diskin, Ritvik Ramanan Radhakrishnan, Benny Sudakov, and Vincent Tassion establishing the corresponding sharp decay phenomenon above the critical probability for every infinite transitive graph. It will also mention other recent breakthrough in the area. See the blog announcement https://functor.network/user/3333/entry/2066 of this talk for more details.
