Uniqueness of the infinite percolation cluster by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-05 Updated 2026-10-06
For independent site percolation or bond percolation on the cubic lattice , there is almost surely at most one infinite percolation cluster at every fixed parameter. Above the percolation critical probability, there is exactly one almost surely. This theorem is called the Burton-Keane theorem. Existence uses translation ergodicity together with positive percolation probability; uniqueness is a separate conclusion. At uniqueness is deterministic.
