Corner contribution to percolation cluster numbers in three dimensions

Abstract

In three-dimensional critical percolation we study numerically the number of clusters, NΓN_{\Gamma}, which intersect a given subset of bonds, Γ\Gamma. If Γ\Gamma represents the interface between a subsystem and the environment, then NΓN_{\Gamma} is related to the entanglement entropy of the critical diluted quantum Ising model. Due to corners in Γ\Gamma there are singular corrections to NΓN_{\Gamma}, which scale as bΓlnLΓb_{\Gamma} \ln L_{\Gamma}, LΓL_{\Gamma} being the linear size of Γ\Gamma and the prefactor, bΓb_{\Gamma}, is found to be universal. This result indicates that logarithmic finite-size corrections exist in the free-energy of three-dimensional critical systems.
