Abstract: The contact model for the spread of disease may be viewed as a directed percolation model on $$ in which the continuum axis is oriented in the direction of increasing time. Techniques from percolation have enabled a fairly complete analysis of the contact model at and near its critical point. The corresponding process when the time-axis is unoriented is an undirected percolation model to which now standard techniques may be applied. One may construct in similar vein a random-cluster model on $$, with associated continuum Ising and Potts models. These models are of independent interest, in addition to providing a path-integral representation of the quantum Ising model with transverse field. This representation may be used to obtain a bound on the entanglement of a finite set of spins in the quantum Ising model on $$, where this entanglement is measured via the entropy of the reduced density matrix. The mean-field version of the quantum Ising model gives rise to a random-cluster model on $K_{n}imesRR$, thereby extending the Erdos-Renyi random graph on the complete graph $K_n$.
