Ck. Hu et Bi. Halperin, SCALING FUNCTION FOR THE NUMBER OF ALTERNATING PERCOLATION CLUSTERS ON SELF-DUAL FINITE SQUARE LATTICES, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 55(5), 1997, pp. 2705-2708
We consider bond percolation with a bond probability p on a L(1) X L(2
) self-dual square lattice with periodic boundary conditions in the ho
rizontal direction and free boundary conditions in the vertical direct
ion, terminated at the top and bottom by a row of vertical and horizon
tal bonds, respectively. We define the number M of alternating percola
tion clusters as the minimum of n(p) and n(n), where n(p) is the numbe
r of independent percolating dusters connecting sites on the top and b
ottom edges, and n, is the number of percolating clusters in the compl
ementary configuration on the dual lattice, a bond being present in th
e complementary configuration if and only if it is absent in the origi
nal configuration. We evaluate the probability W-M(a)(L(1),L(2),p) for
finding a given value of M and find that, for a given aspect ratio L(
1), /L(2) all data of W-M(a)(L(1),L(2),p) near the critical point p(c)
fall on the same scaling function F-M(a) which is symmetric with resp
ect to the scaling variable for all M.
