Continuity of percolation probability on hyperbolic graphs

LetT _k be a forwarding tree of degreek where each vertex other than the origin hask children and one parent and the origin hask children but no parent (k2). DefineG to be the graph obtained by adding toT _k nearest neighbor bonds connecting the vertices which are in the same generation.G is regarded as a discretization of the hyperbolic planeH ² in the same sense thatZ ^d is a discretization ofR ^d . Independent percolation onG has been proved to have multiple phase transitions. We prove that the percolation probabilityO(p) is continuous on [0,1] as a function ofp.     

Critical behavior in a model of correlated percolation

We study the critical behavior of certain two-parameter families of correlated percolation models related to the Ising model on the triangular and square lattices, respectively. These percolation models can be considered as interpolating between the percolation model given by the + and – clusters and the Fortuin-Kasteleyn correlated percolation model associated to the Ising model. We find numerically on both lattices a two-dimensional critical region in which the expected cluster size diverges, yet there is no percolation.

Strict inequalities for some critical exponents in two-dimensional percolation

For 2D percolation we slightly improve a result of Chayes and Chayes to the effect that the critical exponent for the percolation probability isstrictly less than 1. The same argument is applied to prove that ifL():={(x, y):x=r cos, y=r sin for some r0, or} and():=limpp _c [log(p–p _c )]^–1 log P_cr {itO is connected to by an occupied path inL()}, then() is strictly decreasing in on [0, 2]. Similarly, lim_n [–logn]^–1 logP _cr {itO is connected by an occupied path inL()() to the exterior of [–n, n]×[–n, n] is strictly decreasing in on [0, 2].

Correlation functions of the critical Ashkin-Teller model on a torus

The correlation functions of the critical Ashkin-Teller model on a torus are calculated using a free bosonic field formulation in the continuum limit. The results include in particular correlators of electromagnetic or twist operators. Various applications are discussed.     

Multifractality in elastic percolation

We present numerical results on the distribution of forces in the central-force percolation model at threshold in two dimensions. We conjecture a relation between the multifractal spectrum of scalar and vector percolation that we test for central-foce percolation. This relation is in excellent agreement with our numerical data.     

Dependency of percolation critical exponents on the exponent of power law size distribution

The standard percolation theory uses objects of the same size. Moreover, it has long been observed that the percolation properties of the systems with a finite distribution of sizes are controlled by an effective size and consequently, the universality of the percolation theory is still valid. In this study, the effect of power law size distribution on the critical exponents of the percolation theory of the two dimensional models is investigated. Two different object shapes i.e., stick-shaped and square are considered. These two shapes are the representative of the fractures in fracture reservoirs and the sandbodies in clastic reservoirs. The finite size scaling arguments are used for the connectivity to determine the dependency of the critical exponents on the power law exponent. In particular, the deviations of percolation exponents from their universal values as well as the connectivity behavior of such systems are investigated numerically. As a result, this extends the applicability of the conventional percolation approach to study the connectivity of systems with a very broad size distribution.     

Definition of percolation thresholds on self-affine surfaces

We study the percolation transition on a two-dimensional substrate with long-range self-affine correlations. We find that the position of the percolation threshold on a correlated lattice is no longer unique and depends on the spanning rule employed. Numerical results are provided for spanning across the lattice in specified (horizontal or vertical), either or both directions.     

Phase structure of two-dimensional spin models and percolation

For a class of classical spin models in 2D satisfying a certain continuity constraint it is proven that some of their correlations do not decay exponentially. The class contains discrete and continuous spin systems with Abelian and non-Abelian symmetry groups. For the discrete models our results imply that they show either long-range order or are in a soft phase characterized by powerlike decay of correlations; for the continuous models only the second possibility exists. The continuous models include a version of the plane rotator [O(2)] model; for this model we rederive, modulo two conjectures, the Fröhlich-Spencer result on the existence of the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase in a very simple way. The proof is based on percolation-theoretic and topological arguments.     

On position-space renormalization group approach to percolation

In a position-space renormalization group (PSRG) approach to percolation one calculates the probabilityR(p,b) that a finite lattice of linear sizeb percolates, wherep is the occupation probability of a site or bond. A sequence of percolation thresholdsp _c (b) is then estimated fromR(p _c ,b)=p _c (b) and extrapolated to the limitb to obtainp _c =p _c (). Recently, it was shown that for a certain spanning rule and boundary condition,R(p _c ,)=R _c is universal, and sincep _c is not universal, the validity of PSRG approaches was questioned. We suggest that the equationR(p _c ,b)=, where isany number in (0,1), provides a sequence ofp _c (b)'s thatalways converges top _c asb. Thus, there is anenvelope from any point inside of which one can converge top _c . However, the convergence is optimal if =R _c . By calculating the fractal dimension of the sample-spanning cluster atp _c , we show that the same is true aboutany critical exponent of percolation that is calculated by a PSRG method. Thus PSRG methods are still a useful tool for investigating percolation properties of disordered systems.     

Theory of percolation in fluids of long molecules

We use the reference interaction site model (RISM) integral equation theory to study the percolation behavior of fluids composed of long molecules. We examine the roles of hard core size and of length-to-width ratio on the percolation threshold. The critical density _c is a nonmonotonic function of these parameters exhibiting competition of different effects. Comparisons with Monte Carlo calculations of others are reasonably good. For critical exponents, the theory yields =2=2 for molecules of any noninfinite lengthL. WhenL is very large, the theory yields _cL ^–2. These predictions compare favorably with observations of the conductivity for random assemblies of conductive fibers. The threshold region where asymptotic scaling holds requires the correlation length (/ _c ) ^–v to be much larger thanL. Evidently, the range of densities in this region diminishes asL increases, requiring that density deviations from _c be no larger thanL ^–2. Otherwise, crossover behavior will be observed.     

Monte Carlo study of percolation on disordered triangular lattices

A simple model for amorphous solids, consisting of a mixed bond triangular lattice with a fraction of attenuated bonds randomly distributed (which simulate the presence of defects in the surface), is studied here by using computational simulation. The degree of disorder of the surface is tunable by selecting the values of (1) the fraction of regular [attenuated] bonds ρ [1−ρ] (0≤ρ≤1) and (2) the factor r, which is defined as the ratio between the value of the conductivity associated to an attenuated bond and that corresponding to a regular bond (0≤r≤1). The results obtained show how the percolation properties of the disordered system are modified with respect to the standard random bond percolation problem (r=0).     

Closed-form solutions of the Schrödinger equation for a particle on the torus

Two results on the Schrödinger equation for a particle on the surface of a torus are obtained: In the first part of this note closed-form zero-energy solutions for a free particle are given. In the second part we show for which potentials depending only on the polar angle the Schrodinger equation becomes exactly solvable.     

Continuum percolation of the four-bonding-site associating fluids

Wertheim’s integral equation theory for associating fluids is reformulated for the study of the connectedness properties of associating hard spheres with four bonding sites. The association interaction is described as a square-well saturable attraction between these sites. The connectedness version of the Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) integral equation is supplemented by the PY-like closure relation and solved analytically within an ideal network approximation in which the network is represented as resulting from the crossing of ideal polymer chains. The pair connectedness functions and the mean cluster size are calculated and discussed. The condition for the percolation transition and the analytical form of the percolation threshold are derived. The connection of the percolation with the gas-liquid phase transition is discussed.     

Bond percolation for homogeneous two-dimensional lattices

Bond percolation is studied for the three homogeneous two-dimensional lattices: square lattice (SL), triangular lattice (TL) and honeycomb lattice (HL). An expanding cell technique is used to obtain percolation thresholds and other relevant information for different cell sizes. We extend the analysis as to include slightly asymmetric cells in addition to the usual symmetric cells to get more points in the scaling analysis. Exact percolation functions are obtained for each size. Then, the percolation threshold is obtained by means of two complementary methods: one based on the well-known renormalization techniques and the other one introduced here which is based upon determining the inflection point of the percolation curves. A comparison of the results obtained by these two methods is performed. The study includes iterations to extrapolate numerical results towards the thermodynamic limit. Critical exponents ν, β and γ are obtained. Values are compared with numerical results and expected theoretical estimations; present results show agreement and even improvement (in the case of γ) with respect to some numeric values available in the literature. Comparison tables are provided.     

The phase transition in the fully frustrated XY model as a percolation problem

The fully frustrated planar rotator and fully frustrated XY models in two dimensions have two phase transitions: one of the Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless type and other in the Ising universality class. We use Monte Carlo simulation to study both models. We fix our attention in the Ising-like transition, which we show can be understood as a percolation transition. We obtain the critical temperature as well as the critical exponents of the mean cluster size, γ, and Fisher's exponent τ. The critical temperature agree very well with other calculations. We found that the critical exponents are smaller than in the pure two-dimensional percolation case. We interpret this as due to the long-range interaction between vortex and antivortex.     

Some critical exponent inequalities for percolation

For a large class of independent (site or bond, short- or long-range) percolation models, we show the following: (1) If the percolation densityP (p) is discontinuous atp _c , then the critical exponent (defined by the divergence of expected cluster size, nP _n (p) (P _c –P)^– asp p _c ) must satisfy 2. (2) or (defined analogously to, but asp p _c ) and [P _n (p _c ) (n ^–1–1/) asn ] must satisfy, 2(1 – 1/). These inequalities for improve the previously known bound 1(Aizenman and Newman), since 2 (Aizenman and Barsky). Additionally, result 1may be useful, in standardd-dimensional percolation, for proving rigorously (ind>2) that, as expected,P _x has no discontinuity atp _c .
