= Trifurcation vertices in percolation
{synonym}
A trifurcation <graph vertex> is a <graph vertex> of an infinite <percolation cluster> whose deletion separates that cluster into at least three infinite <connected components of a graph>. In a finite modification argument one may make it have exactly three open incident <edges> leading to three different infinite components. On a translation-invariant lattice, a positive <probability> of trifurcation at one <graph vertex> gives a positive expected density of trifurcations.
