Abstract

We consider a Poisson point process on the space of lines in \({{\mathbb R}^d}\), where a multiplicative factor u > 0 of the intensity measure determines the density of lines. Each line in the process is taken as the axis of a bi-infinite cylinder of radius 1. We investigate percolative properties of the vacant set, defined as the subset of \({{\mathbb R}^d}\) that is not covered by any such cylinder. We show that in dimensions d ≥ 4, there is a critical value \({u_*(d) \in (0,\infty)}\), such that with probability 1, the vacant set has an unbounded component if u < u *(d), and only bounded components if u > u *(d). For d = 3, we prove that the vacant set does not percolate for large u and that the vacant set intersected with a two-dimensional subspace of \({{\mathbb R}^d}\) does not even percolate for small u > 0.
