Arm events are defined by the existence of a prescribed color sequence of invaded and non-invaded connections from the origin to distance n. We find that, for sequences of a particular form, arm probabilities in invasion percolation and critical percolation are comparable, uniformly in n, while they differ by a power of n for all others. A corollary of our results is the existence, on the triangular lattice, of arm exponents for invasion percolation, for any color sequence with at least two open (invaded) entries.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-09-21T16:40:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60K35" ], "keywords": [ "two-dimensional invasion percolation", "arm events", "critical percolation", "prescribed color sequence", "arm probabilities" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 37, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
