Due to Fortuin and Kastelyin the $q$ state Potts model has a representation as a sum over random graphs, generalizing the Potts model to arbitrary $q$ is based on this representation. A key element of the Random Cluster representation is…
We consider a critical Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) percolation with cluster weight $q \in [1,4)$ in the plane, and color its clusters in red (respectively blue) with probability $r \in (0,1)$ (respectively $1-r$), independently of each other. We…
The geometrical critical behaviour of the two-dimensional Q-state Potts model is usually studied in terms of the Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) clusters, or their surrounding loops. In this paper we study a quite different geometrical object: the…

Potts spin systems play a fundamental role in statistical mechanics and quantum field theory, and can be studied within the spin, the Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) bond or the $q$-flow (loop) representation. We introduce a Loop-Cluster (LC) joint…
We present a technique, which we call "etching," which we use to study the harmonic measure of Fortuin-Kasteleyn clusters in the Q-state Potts model for Q=1-4. The harmonic measure is the probability distribution of random walkers diffusing…

We investigate the damage spreading effect in the Fortuin-Kasteleyn random cluster model for 2- and 3-dimensional grids with periodic boundary. For 2D the damage function has a global maximum at $p=\sqrt{q}/(1+\sqrt{q})$ for all $q>0$ and…
