We consider a percolation process in which $k$ points separated by a distance proportional to system size $L$ simultaneously connect together ($k>1$), or a single point at the center of a system connects to the boundary ($k=1$), through…
A Monte Carlo algorithm is proposed to simulate ferromagnetic q-state Potts model for any real q>0. A single update is a random sequence of disordering and deterministic moves, one for each link of the lattice. A disordering move attributes…
We study a $q$-state Potts model on the square grid when $q>4$ at the point $T_c(q)$ of its (discontinous) transition. This model exhibits exactly $q+1$ extremal Gibbs measures: $q$ ordered (monochromatic) and one disordered (free). The…
