OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
We introduce a new percolation model, inspired by recent works on jigsaw percolation, graph bootstrap percolation, and percolation in polluted environments. We start with a collection of logical statements and known implications, as represented by an oriented graph G on n vertices. Then we attempt to logically complete the knowledge by transitivity, however, a censor places restrictions, represented by open and closed directed edges. We show that if G is a connected graph of bounded degree, and all other edges are open independently with probability p, then the transition between sparse and full completion of open edges occurs at p_c = (log n)^{-1/2+o(1)}. Joint work with Janko Gravner.
