Abstract

The probability of simultaneous occurence of at least k spanning clusters has been studied by Monte Carlo simulations on the 2D square lattice at the bond percolation threshold pc=1/2p_c=1/2. It is found that the probability of k and more Incipient Spanning Clusters (ISC) has the values P(k>1)0.00658(3)P(k>1) \approx 0.00658(3) and P(k>2)0.00000148(21)P(k>2) \approx 0.00000148(21) provided that the limit of these probabilities for infinite lattices exists. The probability P(k>3)P(k>3) of more than three ISC could be estimated to be of the order of 10^{-11} and is beyond the possibility to compute a such value by nowdays computers. So, it is impossible to check in simulations the Aizenman law for the probabilities when k>>1k>>1. We have detected a single sample with 4 ISC in a total number of about 10^{10} samples investigated. The probability of single event is 1/10 for that number of samples.
