Uniqueness of infinite open cluster in bond percolation in $\mathbb{Z}^d$

Abstract: In this paper, we alternately obtain the almost sure uniqueness of the infinite open cluster in bond percolation in $\mathbb{Z}^d, d \geq 2,$ without requiring the use of ergodicity of translation action. If $N$ denotes the number of infinite open clusters, we use the Burton-Keane argument to get $N \in {0,1,2}$ a.s. and then use a pivotal edges argument to obtain that $N \in {0,1}$ a.s.
