Abstract

We study the cluster-size distribution of supercritical long-range percolation on Zd, where two vertices x,yZd are connected by an edge with probability p(xy):=pmin(1,βxy)dα for parameters p(0,1], α>1, and β>0. We show that when α>1+1d, and either β or p is sufficiently large, the probability that the origin is in a finite cluster of size at least k decays as exp(Θ(k(d1)d)). This corresponds to classical results for nearest-neighbor Bernoulli percolation on Zd, but is in contrast to long-range percolation with α<1+1d, when the exponent of the stretched exponential decay changes to 2α. This result, together with our accompanying paper, establishes the phase diagram of long-range percolation with respect to cluster-size decay. Our proofs rely on combinatorial methods that show that large delocalized components are unlikely to occur. As a side result we determine the asymptotic growth of the second-largest connected component when the graph is restricted to a finite box.
