Topological percolation on a square lattice

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We investigate the formation of an infinite cluster of entangled threads in a (2+1)-dimensional system. We demonstrate that topological percolation belongs to the universality class of the standard 2D bond percolation. We compute the topological percolation threshold and the critical exponents of topological phase transition. Our numerical check confirms well obtained analytical results.
