Metastable densities for the contact process on power law random graphs
We consider the contact process on a random graph with fixed degree distribution given by a power law. We follow the work of Chatterjee and Durrett (2009), who showed that for arbitrarily small infection parameter $\lambda$, the survival time of the process is larger than a stretched exponential function of …
