Abstract

The Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) random cluster model, which can be exactly mapped from the qq-state Potts spin model, is a correlated bond percolation model. By extensive Monte Carlo simulations, we study the FK bond representation of the critical Ising model (q=2q=2) on a finite complete graph, i.e. the mean-field Ising model. We provide strong numerical evidence that the configuration space for q=2q=2 contains an asymptotically vanishing sector in which quantities exhibit the same finite-size scaling as in the critical uncorrelated bond percolation (q=1q=1) on the complete graph. Moreover, we observe that in the full configuration space, the power-law behaviour of the cluster-size distribution for the FK Ising clusters except the largest one is governed by a Fisher exponent taking the value for q=1q=1 instead of q=2q=2. This demonstrates the percolation effects in the FK Ising model on the complete graph.
