| Jan 8, 2012 at 8:32 | comment | added | mfolz | The thing that makes the question puzzling is that while there are fairly natural connections between martingales, Brownian motion, and diffusions, percolation is really apparently unrelated to the others (which is not to say that, for example, one cannot find martingale techniques used in percolation theory...) | |

| Jan 6, 2012 at 22:30 | comment | added | Tom LaGatta | Martingales, Brownian motion, diffusions and percolation are some of the major workhorses in contemporary probability theory. This question is essentially, "Interesting applications of probability theory?" which is absolutely too general for the site. I recommend you reformulate this into a much more precise question. What specific applications do you have in mind? | |
