Percolation is a probabilistic model of wetting of porous medium, the spread of blight in an orchard, a forest fire, etc. Specifically, bond percolation is defined by giving the occupied and vacant states with probability
%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
and
%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
, respectively, for each edge

on a graph. It is known that phase transitions occur at a critical point

in this model, and it is believed that some quantities exhibit power-law (critical phenomena). For example, it is predicted that the susceptibility (the mean cluster size)

asymptotically behaves like
%5E%7B-%5Cgamma%7D%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
. The exponent

particularly takes the value

in high dimension, which is called a mean-field value. In this talk, I will explain the basic topics of mean-field behavior for percolation models. I will also mention the infrared bound and the lace expansion. They are key topics in my research.
