Percolation

Percolation is a logarithmic CFT. Among other things, this means it is not unitary.

This page focuses on “standard percolation” — see Related theories below for alternative definitions that yield different CFTs.

Lattice theory

Percolation is

Because percolation is not a unitary CFT, there is no Hamiltonian lattice theory that flows to percolation in the IR.

Computational methods

One dimension

Percolation in one dimension is, unsurprisingly, exactly solvable. Clearly no critical cluster can exist unless $p=1$, so that's the critical point. Working out the average cluster size at arbitrary $p$ can be an exercise.

Two dimensions

Six or more dimensions

In six or more dimensions critical percolation is described by mean-field theory.
