Vertex set
- Spatial locations
- Vertex weights
Edge more likely if
- Spatially nearby,
- High weight
Spatial random graphs
Percolation: Reed-Frost epidemic






Four parameters: new and classical models
New phenomena
- Delocalized connected components
- Double-exponential neighbourhood growth
- Large outbreaks more likely than small outbreaks
Challenges
- Geometry:
- Short/Long edges
- Presence of hubs
New direction: Scaling limits of trees and random graphs
- Only vertex weights, no location
- Edge lengths scale with graph size

Figure by Igor Kortchemski
Setup
- Include asymmetry in edge probabilities
- Uncountable and unbounded weights
Goal
