Percolation Thresholds in Hyperbolic Lattices

Abstract: We use invasion percolation to compute numerical values for bond and site percolation thresholds

p_{c}

(existence of an infinite cluster) and

p_{u}

(uniqueness of the infinite cluster) of tesselations

P, Q

of the hyperbolic plane, where

Q

faces meet at each vertex and each face is a

P

-gon. Our values are accurate to six or seven decimal places, allowing us to explore their functional dependency on

P

and

Q

and to numerically compute critical exponents. We also prove rigorous upper and lower bounds for

p_{c}

and

p_{u}

that can be used to find the scaling of both thresholds as a function of

P

and

Q

.
