Abstract
We study the effect of quenched coordination-number disorder of random lattices on the nature of the phase transition in the two-dimensional eight-state Potts model, which is of first order on regular lattices. We consider Poissonian random lattices of toroidal topology constructed according to the Voronoi/Delaunay prescription. Monte Carlo simulations yield strong evidence that the phase transition remains first order.
