The number of two-dimensional percolation clusters whose external hulls enclose an area greater than A, in a system of area Omega, behaves at the critical point as C \Omega /A for large A, where C = 1/(8 pi sqrt(3)). Here we show that away…
We consider long-range Bernoulli bond percolation on the $d$-dimensional hierarchical lattice in which each pair of points $x$ and $y$ are connected by an edge with probability $1-\exp(-\beta\|x-y\|^{-d-\alpha})$, where $0<\alpha<d$ is…
We show that for critical site percolation on the triangular lattice two new observables have conformally invariant scaling limits. In particular the expected number of clusters separating two pairs of points converges to an explicit…

We describe infinite clusters which arise in nearest-neighbour percolation for so-called cocycle measures on the square lattice. These measures arise naturally in the study of random transformations. We show that infinite clusters have a…
Dipole moments are a simple, global measure of the accuracy of the electron density of a polar molecule. Dipole moments also affect the interactions of a molecule with other molecules as well as electric fields. To directly assess the…
We study a generalization of two-dimensional site percolation by assigning an energy cost $\varepsilon$ to bonds between nearest-neighbor occupied sites. This leads to a competition between entropy-driven cluster growth and energetic…
We identify the asymptotic distribution of the chemical distance in high-dimensional critical Bernoulli percolation. Namely, we show that the distance between the origin and a distant vertex conditioned to lie in the cluster of the origin…
We consider here the percolation problem in thin films, both in the direction normal to the film and in the direction parallel to the film. We thereby describe here the cross-over between 2D and 3D percolation, which we do on cubic and…
The anisotropy parameter of two-dimensional equilibrium clusters of site percolation process in long-range self-affine correlated structures are studied numerically. We use a fractional Brownian Motion(FBM) statistic to produce both…
A cluster consisting of many atoms or molecules may be considered, in some circustances, to be a single large molecule with a well defined polarizability. Once the polarizability of such a cluster is known, one can evaluate certain…
The harmonic measure (or diffusion field or electrostatic potential) near a percolation cluster in two dimensions is considered. Its moments, summed over the accessible external hull, exhibit a multifractal spectrum, which I calculate…

This contribution is concerned with the effective viscosity problem, that is, the homogenization of the steady Stokes system with a random array of rigid particles, for which the main difficulty is the treatment of close particles. Standard…
Monte-Carlo simulations on a variety of 2d percolating systems at criticality suggest that the excess number of clusters in finite systems over the bulk value of nc is a universal quantity, dependent upon the system shape but independent of…

Controlled experimental studies of percolation are challenging due to difficulties in tuning site connectivity, isolating local interactions, and mitigating finite-size effects. In this work, we experimentally investigate percolation with a…
