Extinction, Survival and Fluctuations for the Spatial Maki--Thompson Model on Infinite Graphs
We study the spatial Maki--Thompson rumor model on infinite, connected graphs of bounded degree. Spreaders transmit the rumor to ignorant neighbors but become stiflers upon contacting non-ignorant neighbors. We prove extinction on Cayley graphs of linear growth, for every \(\lambda,\alpha>0\) and every initial configur...
