Three-dimensional bond or site percolation theory on a lattice can be interpreted as a gauge theory in which the Wilson loops are viewed as counters of topological linking with random clusters. Beyond the percolation threshold large Wilson…
We consider a polymer with configuration modelled by the trajectory of a Markov chain, interacting with a potential of form $u+V_n$ when it visits a particular state 0 at time $n$, with $\{V_n\}$ representing i.i.d. quenched disorder. There…
