Abstract

We show that a superposition of an ε-Bernoulli bond percolation and any everywhere percolating subgraph of \mathbb Zd, d≥ 2, results in a connected subgraph, which after a renormalization dominates supercritical Bernoulli percolation. This result, which confirms a conjecture of the first author together with Häggström and Schramm (2000), is mainly motivated by obtaining finite volume characterizations of uniqueness for general percolation processes.
