### Neighboring clusters in Bernoulli percolation

#### Abstract

We consider Bernoulli percolation on a locally finite quasi-transitive unimodular graph and prove that two infinite clusters cannot have infinitely many pairs of vertices at distance 1 from one another or, in other words, that such graphs exhibit “cluster repulsion.” This partially answers a question of Häggström, Peres and Schonmann.
