Each line in the process is taken as the axis of a bi-infinite cylinder of radius 1. We investigate percolative properties of the vacant set, defined as the subset of R^d that is not covered by any such cylinder. We show that in dimensions d >= 4, there is a critical value u_*(d) \\in (0,\\infty), such that with probability 1, the vacant set has an unbounded component if uu_*(d). For d=3, we prove that the vacant set does not percolate for large u and that the vacant set intersected with a two-dimensional subspace of R^d does not even percolate for small u>0.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-07-10T11:52:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "82B43", "82B26", "60K35" ], "keywords": [ "vacant set", "poisson cylinders", "percolation", "poisson point process", "intensity measure determines" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1010.5338T" } } }
