A pattern theorem for lattice clusters

Abstract: We consider general classes of lattice clusters, including various kinds of animals and trees on different lattices. We prove that if a given local configuration ("pattern") of sites and bonds can occur in large clusters, then it occurs at least cN times in most clusters of size n, for some constant c>0. An analogous theorem for self-avoiding walks was proven in 1963 by Kesten. The results also apply to weighted sums, and in particular we can take asubn to be the probability that the percolation cluster containing the origin consists of exactly n sites. Another consequence is strict inequality of connective constants for sublattices and for certain subclasses of clusters.
