Are the Tails of Percolation Thresholds Gaussians ?

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

The probability distribution of percolation thresholds in finite lattices were first believed to follow a normal Gaussian behaviour. With increasing computer power and more efficient simulational techniques, this belief turned to a stretched exponential behaviour, instead. Here, based on a further improvement of Monte Carlo data, we show evidences that this question is not yet answered at all.
