In our previous work we have shown that critical manifolds of the q-state Potts model can be studied by means of a graph polynomial P_B(q,v), henceforth referred to as the critical polynomial. This polynomial may be defined on any periodic…

Any two-dimensional infinite regular lattice G can be produced by tiling the plane with a finite subgraph B of G; we call B a basis of G. We introduce a two-parameter graph polynomial P_B(q,v) that depends on B and its embedding in G. The…

The critical curves of the q-state Potts model can be determined exactly for regular two-dimensional lattices G that are of the three-terminal type. Jacobsen and Scullard have defined a graph polynomial P_B(q,v) that gives access to the…

We present a method of general applicability for finding exact or accurate approximations to bond percolation thresholds for a wide class of lattices. To every lattice we sytematically associate a polynomial, the root of which in $[0,1]$ is…

Although every exactly known bond percolation critical threshold is the root in $[0,1]$ of a lattice-dependent polynomial, it has recently been shown that the notion of a critical polynomial can be extended to any periodic lattice. The…

The $q$-state Potts model has stood at the frontier of research in statistical mechanics for many years. In the absence of a closed-form solution, much of the past efforts have focused on locating its critical manifold, trajectory in the…

We study the critical frontiers of the Potts model on two-dimensional bow-tie lattices with fully inhomogeneous coupling constants. Generally, for the Potts critical frontier to be found exactly, the underlying lattice must be a 3-uniform…

By using a decomposition of the transfer matrix of the $q$-state Potts Model on a three dimensional $ m \times n \times n $ simple cubic lattice its determinant is calculated exactly. By using the calculated determinants a formula is…

We give the exact critical frontier of the Potts model on bowtie lattices. For the case of $q=1$, the critical frontier yields the thresholds of bond percolation on these lattices, which are exactly consistent with the results given by Ziff…

In this study, we performed Monte Carlo simulations of the $q=3,4$-Potts model on quasiperiodic decagonal lattices (QDL) to assess the critical behavior of these systems. Using the single histogram technique in conjunction with the…

We study the percolation critical surface of the kagome lattice in which each triangle is allowed an arbitrary connectivity. Using the method of critical polynomials, we find points along this critical surface to high precision. This kagome…

Every lattice for which the bond percolation critical probability can be found exactly possesses a critical polynomial, with the root in [0,1] providing the threshold. Recent work has demonstrated that this polynomial may be generalized…
