Abstract

In this thesis we explore the framework of the percolation theory and we analyse two models. We investigate the level set of the Gaussian free field on a supercritical Galton--Watson tree conditioned on non-extinction with random conductances, showing that the critical parameter h_* is deterministic and strictly positive, that the level set contains almost surely a transient component for some h>0 and it is stable under perturbation via small quenched noise. Then we study an infection model with recovery on fractal graphs as the Sierpinski gaskets and carpets and show the survival of the infection for small recovery parameter. To prove the result, we generalize the concept of Lsipschitz surface for the lattice to fractal graphs, and we show the existence and certain connectivity properties of what we call a Lipschitz Cutset.
