• Title: 2-neighbour bootstrap percolation on the plane
• Abstract: The study of bootstrap percolation started out with the idea that the 2-neighbour model on the square grid with product Bernoulli initial condition would exhibit a nontrivial phase transition, as it does on a regular tree. While this is not the case, the model is far from being trivial. In this mini-course, we will cover the evolution of our quantitative understanding of this trivial phase transition over the years. This will lead us to discuss various techniques, establishing increasingly precise results, many of which have been subsequently adapted to other models and settings. We will revisit the classical works of Aizenman and Lebowitz, and Holroyd, gradually building towards recent and upcoming results in that direction, which still call for generalization.
