Event details

In this talk I will finish discussing critical exponents and a scaling hypothesis that allows one to derive all exponents describing the structure of the percolating cluster as a function of only two (arbitrarily chosen) exponents. I will then move on to random walk as an example of a dynamical phenomenon on percolating clusters. I will also briefly discuss the link between random walks and conductivity of a random network of resistors.
