Abstract

We use invasion percolation to compute numerical values for bond and site percolation thresholds pcp_c (existence of an infinite cluster) and pup_u (uniqueness of the infinite cluster) of tesselations {P,Q}\{P,Q\} of the hyperbolic plane, where QQ faces meet at each vertex and each face is a PP-gon. Our values are accurate to six or seven decimal places, allowing us to explore their functional dependency on PP and QQ and to numerically compute critical exponents. We also prove rigorous upper and lower bounds for pcp_c and pup_u that can be used to find the scaling of both thresholds as a function of PP and QQ.
