Asymptotics in High Dimensions For the Fortuin-Kasteleyn Random Cluster Model

  • Chapter
Spatial Stochastic Processes

Part of the book series: Progress in Probability ((PRPR,volume 19))

Abstract

We consider the Fortuin-Kasteleyn cluster model which is related to the percolation model and the Potts model. We give the asymptotic behavior of the critical probability and the percolation probability as the dimension d tends to infinity, in the case where Q (which corresponds to the number of colors in the Potts model) lies between 1 and 2.
