The number $n_s$ of clusters (per site) of size $s$, a central quantity in percolation theory, displays at criticality an algebraic scaling behavior of the form $n_s\simeq s^{-\tau}\, A\, (1+B s^{-\Omega})$. For the Fortuin--Kasteleyn…

We study the bond percolation problem in random graphs of $N$ weighted vertices, where each vertex $i$ has a prescribed weight $P_i$ and an edge can connect vertices $i$ and $j$ with rate $P_iP_j$. The problem is solved by the $q\to 1$…
We study the three-point correlation function of the backbone in the two-dimensional $Q$-state Potts model using the Fortuin--Kasteleyn (FK) representation. The backbone is defined as the biconnected skeleton of an FK cluster after removing…
We note that it is possible to construct a bond vertex model that displays q-state Potts criticality on an ensemble of phi3 random graphs of arbitrary topology, which we denote as ``thin'' random graphs in contrast to the fat graphs of 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…

The exact solution of the Ising model on the complete graph (CG) provides an important, though mean-field, insight for the theory of continuous phase transitions. Besides the original spin, the Ising model can be formulated in the…
At the critical point in two dimensions, the number of percolation clusters of enclosed area greater than A is proportional to 1/A, with a proportionality constant C that is universal. We show theoretically (based upon Coulomb gas methods),…
In random percolation one finds that the mean field regime above the upper critical dimension can simply be explained through the coexistence of infinite percolating clusters at the critical point. Because of the mapping between percolation…
