According to conformal invariance, this factorization is exact on the infinite plane, such that the ratio R(z_1, z_2, z_3) = P_3(z_1, z_2, z_3) [P_2(z_1, z_2) P_2(z_1, z_3) P_2(z_2, z_3)]^{1/2} is not only universal but also a constant, independent of the z_i, and in fact an operator product expansion (OPE) coefficient. Delfino and Viti analytically calculate its value (1.022013...) for percolation, in agreement with the numerical value 1.022 found previously in a study of R on the conformally equivalent cylinder. In this paper we confirm the factorization on the plane numerically using periodic lattices (tori) of very large size, which locally approximate a plane. We also investigate the general behavior of R on the torus, and find a minimum value of R approx. 1.0132 when the three points are maximally separated. In addition, we present a simplified expression for R on the plane as a function of the SLE parameter kappa.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-01-07T20:51:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "two-dimensional percolation", "factorization", "three-point density correlation function", "two-point density correlation functions", "operator product expansion" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Physics A Mathematical General", "year": 2011, "month": "Feb", "volume": 44, "number": 6, "pages": "065002" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 875561, "adsabs": "2011JPhA...44f5002Z" } } }
