We show that given any two cylinders ${\\mathfrak c}_1$ and ${\\mathfrak c}_2$ in the process, there is a sequence of at most $d-2$ other cylinders creating a connection between ${\\mathfrak c}_1$ and ${\\mathfrak c}_2$. In particular, this shows that the union of the cylinders is a connected set, answering a question appearing in a previous paper. We also show that there are cylinders in the process that are not connected by a sequence of at most $d-3$ other cylinders. Thus, the diameter of the cluster of cylinders equals $d-2$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-04-23T17:30:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60K35", "60D05" ], "keywords": [ "euclidean space", "connectedness", "poisson cylinder model", "cylinders equals", "connection" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1304.6357B" } } }
