5. Percolation

Percolation is the occurrence of an unbounded connected component in a random graph or in a random subset of Euclidean space. Accurate approximations of percolation thresholds and the study of the behaviour of the system near this critical threshold are central topics of percolation theory.
This project deals with percolation problems, where the underlying system depends on a random spatial structure such as a random tessellation or a Boolean model. Examples that are investigated within this project are the Boolean model, the lilypond model, face percolation on stationary tessellations in Euclidean space and loop percolation. Special emphasis is given to the relationship between percolation properties and Minkowski functionals.
