We study the sandpile model in infinite volume on Z d . In particular, we are interested in the question whether or not initial configurations, chosen according to a stationary measure μ, are μ-almost surely stabilizable. We prove that stabilizability does not depend on the particular procedure of stabilization we adopt. In d = 1 and μ a product measure with density ρ = 1 (the known critical value for stabilizability in d = 1) with a positive density of empty sites, we prove that μ is not stabilizable. Furthermore, we study, for values of p such that μ is stabilizable, percolation of toppled sites. We find that for p > 0 small enough, there is a subcritical regime where the distribution of a cluster of toppled sites has an exponential tail, as is the case in the subcritical regime for ordinary percolation.
