Abstract

We investigate site percolation on a weighted planar stochastic lattice (WPSL) which is a multifractal and whose dual is a scale-free network. Percolation is typically characterized by percolation threshold pcp_c and by a set of critical exponents β\beta, γ\gamma, ν\nu which describe the critical behavior of percolation probability P(p)(pcp)βP(p)\sim (p_c-p)^\beta, mean cluster size S(pcp)γS\sim (p_c-p)^{-\gamma} and the correlation length ξ(pcp)ν\xi\sim (p_c-p)^{-\nu}. Besides, the exponent τ\tau characterizes the cluster size distribution function ns(pc)sτn_s(p_c)\sim s^{-\tau} and the fractal dimension dfd_f the spanning cluster. We obtain an exact value for pcp_c and for all these exponents. Our results suggest that the percolation on WPSL belong to a new universality class as its exponents do not share the same value as for all the existing planar lattices.
