Transience and anchored isoperimetric dimension of supercritical percolation clusters

Abstract

We establish several equivalent characterisations of the anchored isoperimetric dimension of supercritical clusters in Bernoulli bond percolation on transitive graphs. We deduce from these characterisations together with a theorem of Duminil-Copin, Goswami, Raoufi, Severo, and Yadin (Duke Math. J. 2020) that if G is a transient transitive graph then the infinite clusters of Bernoulli percolation on G are transient for p sufficiently close to 1. It remains open to extend this result down to the critical probability. Along the way we establish two new cluster repulsion inequalities that are of independent interest.
