Percolation Theory Dr. Kim Christensen Blackett Laboratory Imperial College London Prince Consort Road SW7 2BW London United Kingdom October 9, 2002. Aim The aim of the Percolation Theory course is to provide a challenging and stimulating introduction to a selection of topics within modern theoretical condensed matter physics. Percolation Theory is the simplest model displaying a phase transition. The analytic solutions to 1d and mean-field Percolation are presented. While Percolation cannot be solved exactly for intermediate dimensions, the model enables the reader to become familiar with important concepts such as fractals, scaling, and renormalisation group Theory in a very intuitive way.
systems. Moreover, the concept of fractals, which is intimately related to the percolation theory problem, is of general interest as it pops up more or less everywhere in Nature. The knowledge of percolation, fractals, and scaling are of immense importance theoretically in such diverse elds as
