A crossing probability for critical percolation in two dimensions

Condensed Matter 2009-10-28 v2 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

Langlands et al. considered two crossing probabilities, pi_h and pi_{hv}, in their extensive numerical investigations of critical percolation in two dimensions. Cardy was able to find the exact form of pi_h by treating it as a correlation function of boundary operators in the Q goes to 1 limit of the Q state Potts model. We extend his results to find an analogous formula for pi_{hv} which compares very well with the numerical results.
