On the Percolation Bcft and the Crossing Probability of Watts
نویسنده
چکیده
The logarithmic conformal field theory describing critical percolation is further explored using Watts’ determination of the probability that there exists a cluster connecting both horizontal and vertical edges. The boundary condition changing operator which governs Watts’ computation is identified with a primary field which does not fit naturally within the extended Kac table. Instead a “shifted” extended Kac table is shown to be relevant. Augmenting the previously known logarithmic theory based on Cardy’s crossing probability by this field, a larger theory is obtained, in which new classes of indecomposable rank-2 modules are present. No rank-3 Jordan cells are yet observed. A highly non-trivial check of the identification of Watts’ field is that no Gurarie-Ludwig-type inconsistencies are observed in this augmentation. The article concludes with an extended discussion of various topics related to extending these results including projectivity, boundary sectors and inconsistency loopholes.

A crossing probability for critical percolation in two dimensions
Langlands et al. considered two crossing probabilities, π h and π hv , in their extensive numerical investigations of critical percolation in two dimensions. Cardy was able to find the exact form of π h by treating it as a correlation function of boundary operators in the Q → 1 limit of the Q state Potts model. We extend his results to find an analogous formula for π hv which compares very well...
متن کاملPercolation crossing formulae and conformal field theory
Using conformal field theory, we derive several new crossing formulae at the two-dimensional percolation point. High-precision simulation confirms these results. Integrating them gives a unified derivation of Cardy’s formula for the horizontal crossing probability h(r), Watts’ formula for the horizontal– vertical crossing probability hv(r) and Cardy’s formula for the expected number of clusters...
متن کاملNew percolation crossing formulas and second-order modular forms
We consider the three new crossing probabilities for percolation recently found via conformal field theory [23]. We prove that all three of them (i) may be simply expressed in terms of Cardy’s [4] and Watts’ [24] crossing probabilities, (ii) are (weakly holomorphic) second-order modular forms of weight 0 (and a single particular type) on the congruence group Γ(2), and (iii) under some technical...
متن کاملA percolation formula
Let A be an arc on the boundary of the unit disk U. We prove an asymptotic formula for the probability that there is a percolation cluster K for critical site percolation on the triangular grid in U which intersects A and such that 0 is surrounded by K ∪ A. Motivated by questions raised by Langlands et al [LPSA94] and by M. Aizenman, J. Cardy [Car92, Car] derived a formula for the asymptotic pr...
متن کاملUniversal crossing probabilities and incipient spanning clusters in directed percolation
Shape-dependent universal crossing probabilities are studied, via Monte Carlo simulations, for bond and site directed percolation on the square lattice in the diagonal direction, at the percolation threshold. In a dynamical interpretation, the crossing probability is the probability that, on a system with size L, an epidemic spreading without immunization remains active at time t. Since the sys...
