1/σ Expansion for Quantum Percolation

چکیده

A method for obtaining a 1/σ expansion for certain statistical models is presented, where σ+1 is the coordination number of the lattice. The method depends on being able to generate exact recursion relations for the Cayley tree. By perturbing the recursion relation to take account of the dominant loops in a hypercubic lattice for large σ, we obtain corrections of order σ−2 to the recursion relations. For the tight-binding model on random bond clusters (the quantum-percolation problem) we obtain corrections to this order for the critical concentration p* at which the transition between localized and extended zero-energy eigenfunctions takes place. It is believed that this concentration coincides with the transition when all energies are considered. In addition, we display the relation for the Cayley tree between quantum-percolation and lattice animals (or dilute branched polymers). We show that this relation manifests itself in the appearance of singularities in the quantum-percolation problem at negative concentration which correspond to the physical transition at positive fugacity in the statistics of lattice animals. Corrections of order σ−2 to the location of this unphysical singularity in the quantum-percolation problem are also obtained.

Confining string beyond the free approximation: the case of random percolation

The random percolation model can be viewed as the dual of a well defined confining gauge theory; since this theory, having no Monte Carlo dynamics at all, is simple to simulate, it is possible to study the properties of the flux tube with very high precision; we show it can be described by the effective string picture. Our results are lattice regularisation independent, therefore they are well ...

Field-Theoretic Approach to Biconnectedness in Percolating Systems

A general method is given whereby m-connectedness correlation functions can be studied in the percolation problem. The method for m=1 involves calculating the kth power of the correlation function ⟨σ(x)σ(x′)⟩ for a randomly dilute Ising model at nonzero temperature and subsequently averaging over configurations. The final step is to take the limit k→0. This method is tested by reproducing the s...

Dependence of the Crossover Exponent with the Diffusion Rate in the Generalized Contact Process Model

We study how the crossover exponent, φ, between the directed percolation (DP) and compact directed percolation (CDP) behaves as a function of the diffusion rate in a model that generalizes the contact process. Our conclusions are based in results pointed by perturbative series expansions and numerical simulations, and are consistent with a value φ = 2 for finite diffusion rates and φ = 1 in the...

We analyze a deterministic cellular automaton σ· = (σn : n ≥ 0) corresponding to the zero-temperature case of Domany’s stochastic Ising ferromagnet on the hexagonal lattice H. The state space SH = {−1,+1} H consists of assignments of −1 or +1 to each site of H and the initial state σ0 = {σ0 x}x∈H is chosen randomly with P (σ0 x = +1) = p ∈ [0, 1]. The sites of H are partitioned in two sets A an...

Levy-flight spreading of epidemic processes leading to percolating clusters

We consider two stochastic processes, the Gribov process and the general epidemic process, that describe the spreading of an infectious disease. In contrast to the usually assumed case of short-range infections that lead, at the critical point, to directed and isotropic percolation respectively, we consider long-range infections with a probability distribution decaying in d dimensions with the ...
