| abstract: |
Benjamini, Lyons and Schramm (1999) considered properties
of an infinite graph
G
, and the simple random walk on it, that are
preserved by random perturbations. To address problems
raised by those authors, we study simple random walk on the
infinite percolation cluster in Cayley graphs of certain
amenable groups known as ``lamplighter groups''. We prove
that zero speed for random walk on a lamplighter group
implies zero speed for random walk on an infinite cluster,
for any supercritical percolation parameter
p
. For
p
large enough, we also establish the converse. We
prove that if
G
has a positive anchored expansion constant then so
does every infinite cluster of independent percolation with
parameter
p
sufficiently close to 1;We also show that positivity
of the anchored expansion constant is preserved under a
random stretch if, and only if, the stretching law has an
exponential tail.

The first source gives you the `gzipped' PostScript, the second the plain PostScript and the third the format for the Adobe accrobat reader. Depending on the installation of your web browser, at least one of these should (after some amount of time) pop up a window for you that shows the full article. If this is not the case, you should contact your system administrator to install your browser correctly.
Due to limitations of your local software, the two formats may show up differently on your screen. If eg you use xpdf to visualize pdf, some of the graphics in the file may not come across. On the other hand, pdf has a capacity of giving links to sections, bibliography and external references that will not appear with PostScript.
