We conjecture an exact form for an universal ratio of four-point cluster connectivities in the critical two-dimensional $Q$-color Potts model. We also provide analogous results for the limit $Q\rightarrow 1$ that corresponds to percolation…
The probability distribution for the number of top to bottom spanning clusters in Directed percolation in two and three dimensions appears to be universal and is of the form $P(n) \sim \exp(-\alpha n^2)$. We argue that $\alpha$ is a new…

We discuss a class of critical models in d>1+1 dimensions whose electrical conductivity and charge susceptibility are fixed by the central charge in a universal manner. We comment on possible bounds on conductivity, as suggested by…

On two-dimensional percolation clusters at the percolation threshold, we study $<\sigma(M_B,r)>$, the average conductance of the backbone, defined by two points separated by Euclidean distance $r$, of mass $M_B$. We find that with…
In this article we compare solutions to elliptic problems having rapidly oscillated conductivity (permeability, etc) coefficient with solutions to corresponding homogenized problems obtained from two-scale extensions of the initial…
In two space dimensions, the percolation point of the pure-site clusters of the Ising model coincides with the critical point T_c of the thermal transition and the percolation exponents belong to a special universality class. By introducing…

The high temperature superconductivity in cuprate materials1 has puzzled scientists over twenty years. We must find a new way to understand superconductivity. It is found the spin-charge correlation may dominate the superconductivity2, and…
