Abstract

We generate point configurations (PCs) by thresholding the local energy of the Ashkin-Teller model in two dimensions (2D) and study the percolation transition at different values of λ\lambda along the critical Baxter line by varying the threshold that controls the particle density ρ\rho. For all values of λ\lambda, the PCs exhibit power-law correlations with a decay exponent aa that remains independent of ρ\rho and varies continuously with λ\lambda. For λ<0\lambda < 0, where the PCs are hyperuniform, the percolation critical behavior is identical to that of ordinary percolation. In contrast, for λ>0\lambda > 0, the configurations exhibit giant number fluctuations, and all critical exponents vary continuously, but form a superuniversality class of percolation transition in 2D.
