Directed Percolation and the Golden Ratio

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Applying the theory of Yang-Lee zeros to nonequilibrium critical phenomena, we investigate the properties of a directed bond percolation process for a complex percolation parameter p. It is shown that for the Golden Ratio p=(1(+/-)sqrt(5))/2 and for p=2 the survival probability of a cluster can be computed exactly.
