Large deviation bounds for the volume of the largest cluster in 2D critical percolation

Probability 2014-04-09 v1

Abstract

Let M_n denote the number of sites in the largest cluster in critical site percolation on the triangular lattice inside a box side length n. We give lower and upper bounds on the probability that M_n / E(M_n) > x of the form exp(- C x^(2/alpha)) for x > 1 and large n with alpha = 5/48 and C > 0. Our results extend to other two dimensional lattices and strengthen the previously known exponential upper bound derived by Borgs, Chayes, Kesten and Spencer [BCKS99]. Furthermore, under some general assumptions similar to those in [BCKS99], we derive a similar upper bound in dimensions d > 2.
