Monotonicity and phase diagram for multi-range percolation on oriented trees

Abstract: We consider Bernoulli bond percolation on oriented regular trees, where besides the usual short bonds, all bonds of a certain length are added. Independently, short bonds are open with probability $p$ and long bonds are open with probability $q$. We study properties of the critical curve which delimits the set of pairs $(p,q)$ for which there are almost surely no infinite paths. We also show that this curve decreases with respect to the length of the long bonds.
