Specifically, we consider the subgraphs of $\\textbf{C}_\\infty \\cap [-n,n]^d$ which have minimal open edge boundary to volume ratio. We prove a shape theorem for these subgraphs, obtaining that when suitably rescaled, these subgraphs converge almost surely to a translate of a deterministic shape. This deterministic shape is itself an isoperimetric set for a norm we construct. As a corollary, we obtain sharp asymptotics on a natural modification of the Cheeger constant for $\\textbf{C}_\\infty \\cap [-n,n]^d$. This settles a conjecture of Benjamini for the version of the Cheeger constant defined here.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-02-17T21:16:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60K35", "82B43", "52B60" ], "keywords": [ "supercritical bond percolation", "dimensions", "isoperimetry", "cheeger constant", "deterministic shape" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 65, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
