We give lower and upper bounds on the probability that M_n / E(M_n) > x of the form exp(- C x^(2/alpha)) for x > 1 and large n with alpha = 5/48 and C > 0. Our results extend to other two dimensional lattices and strengthen the previously known exponential upper bound derived by Borgs, Chayes, Kesten and Spencer [BCKS99]. Furthermore, under some general assumptions similar to those in [BCKS99], we derive a similar upper bound in dimensions d > 2.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-04-08T13:24:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60K35", "82B43" ], "keywords": [ "large deviation bounds", "2d critical percolation", "largest cluster", "exponential upper bound", "triangular lattice inside" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1404.2118K" } } }
