Abstract
We investigate a spatial random graph model whose vertices are given as a marked Poisson process on ℝ d . Edges are inserted between any pair of points independently with probability depending on the spatial displacement of the two endpoints and on their marks. Upon variation of the Poisson density, a percolation phase transition occurs under mild conditions: for low density there are finite connected components only, whilst for large density there is an infinite component almost surely. Our focus is on the transition between the low- and high-density phase, where the system is critical. We prove that if the dimension is high enough and the edge probability function satisfies certain conditions, then an infrared bound for the critical connection function is valid. This implies the triangle condition, and thus mean-field behaviour. We achieve this result through combining the recently established lace expansion for Poisson processes with spectral estimates.
