Pair Connectedness and Shortest Path Scaling in Critical Percolation

Statistical Mechanics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We present high statistics data on the distribution of shortest path lengths between two near-by points on the same cluster at the percolation threshold. Our data are based on a new and very efficient algorithm. For d=2d=2 they clearly disprove a recent conjecture by M. Porto et al., Phys. Rev. {\bf E 58}, R5205 (1998). Our data also provide upper bounds on the probability that two near-by points are on different infinite clusters.
