In this paper we describe the percolation analogues of the Gibbs and Helmholtz potentials and use these quantities to prove some general inequalities concerning the critical exponents of percolation processes.

Inequalities and Entanglements for Percolation and Random-cluster Models
We discuss inequalities and applications for percolation and randomcluster models. The relevant areas of methodology concern the following two types of inequality: inequalities involving the probability of a general increasing event, and certain differential inequalities involving the percolation probability. We summarise three areas of application of such inequalities, namely strict inequality...
متن کاملComparison and Disjoint-occurrence Inequalities for Random-cluster Models
Geoffrey Grimmett Abstra t. A principal technique for studying percolation, (ferromagnetic) Ising, Potts, and random-cluster models is the FKG inequality, which implies certain stochastic comparison inequalities for the associated probability measures. The first result of this paper is a new comparison inequality, proved using an argument developed in Refs. 2, 6, 14, and 21 in order to obtain s...
متن کاملA test of scaling near the bond percolation threshold
The bond percolation problem is studied by the Monte Carlo method on a two-dimensional square lattice of 2 X lo6 bonds. Through the inclusion of a ghost field h, we obtain the generating function (the percolation analogue of the Gibbs free energy), percolation probability (the analogue of the spontaneous magnetisation), and mean cluster size (‘isothermal susceptibility’) as functions of two ‘th...
متن کاملVortex-line percolation in the three-dimensional complex 4 model
In discussing the phase transition of the three-dimensional complex 4 theory, we study the geometrically defined vortex-loop network as well as the magnetic properties of the system in the vicinity of the critical point. Using high-precision Monte Carlo techniques we investigate if both of them exhibit the same critical behavior leading to the same critical exponents and hence to a consistent d...
متن کاملIndistinguishability of Percolation Clusters By
We show that when percolation produces infinitely many infinite clusters on a Cayley graph, one cannot distinguish the clusters from each other by any invariantly defined property. This implies that uniqueness Ž of the infinite cluster is equivalent to nondecay of connectivity a.k.a. . long-range order . We then derive applications concerning uniqueness in Kazhdan groups and in wreath products ...
