Abstract:
We consider a d-dimensional correlated percolation problem of sites not visited by a random walk on a hypercubic lattice L^{d} for d=3, 4, and 5. The length of the random walk is N=uL^{d}. Close to the critical value u=u_{c}, many geometrical properties of the problem can be described as powers (critical exponents) of u_{c}-u, such as β, which controls the strength of the spanning cluster, and γ, which characterizes the behavior of the mean finite cluster size S. We show that at u_{c} the ratio between the mean mass of the largest cluster M_{1} and the mass of the second largest cluster M_{2} is independent of L and can be used to find u_{c}. We calculate β from the L dependence of M_{1} and M_{2}, and γ from the finite size scaling of S. The resulting exponent β remains close to 1 in all dimensions. The exponent γ decreases from ≈3.9 in d=3 to ≈1.9 in d=4 and ≈1.3 in d=5 towards γ=1 expected in d=6, which is close to γ=4/(d-2).

Random Variables
Uppercase letters such as X or Y denote a random variable. Lowercase letters like x or y denote the value of a random variable. If X is a random variable, then X is written in words, and x is given as a number.
For example, let X = the...

Probability in Statistics
An example of a simple event is a coin toss. The result of a coin toss is either a head or a tail. Here, head and tail are two simple events. These two simple events make up the sample space. Further, the probability of an event occurring falls within the range of 0 to 1. The probability of an...
