1 Introduction
One of the main observables of two-dimensional percolation is the crossing probability between two dis-
jointsubsetsoftheboundaryofadomain. Thisdomainisusuallytakenhomeomorphictoadisk. AsLang-
landsandhiscolleagues[11]werefinishingtheirnumericalstudyofuniversalityandconformalinvariance
of crossing probabilities, I. Gelfand suggested to explore percolation on compact Riemann surfaces. The
simplestsurfacetostudyisthetorusandthemostnaturalobservableisthenthehomologicpropertiesof
thepercolatingcluster,ormoreprecisely,theprobabilitythataconfigurationcontainsahomologicallynon-

Pinson [17] obtained analytic expressions for the probability of these various subgroups as functions
ofthequotientτofthefundamentalperiodsω1,ω2 ∈ Cofthetorus. Hiscomputationreliesonaclever
argument giving an orientation to the curves bounding clusters. (See [14, 9].) This is done in a way that
doesnotchangethepartitionfunction,butdoesallowfortheidentificationofthehomologypropertiesof
interveningclusters. Hiscomputationismathematicallyrigorous,exceptforthesteptakingthelimitasthe
meshgoestozero;forthis,heusedNienhuis’renormalizationgroupargument[14]thattiesthequantities
understudytoknownresultsfortheCoulombgas. Amorerigoroustreatmentofthisstepremainsopen.
Arguin [1] extended Pinson’s argument to Q-Potts models, Q = 1,2,3,4. To do so, he considered the
Fortuin-Kasteleyngraphsorclustersofconfigurations. Thesearethenaturalextensionsoftheclustersof
percolation,thePottsmodelwithQ=1. ArguinshowedthatPinson’sformulaeneedonlyasmallchange
fortheQ-PottsmodelwithQ ≥ 2. Healsosupportedhisnewexpressionwithnumericaldataforthefour
integervaluesofQ.
WorksonorusingprobabilitiesofhomologysubgroupsofFKclustershasnotbeenlimitedtothethe-
oreticalpredictions. Ziff,Lorenz,Kleban[23]werethefirsttoprovidenumericalsupportfortheiruniver-
sality. Later Newman and Ziff [13] used them to give a precise estimate of the critical probability for site
percolation on a square lattice. It was then the most precise available estimate. And recently they were
2
againusedtoobtainpreciseestimatesforcriticalprobabilityforpercolationonseverallattices[7]. (These
probabilitiesarecalledwrappingprobabilitiesintheseworks.)
InthedefinitionofPottsmodels,Qgivesthenumberofstatesaccessibletothebasicrandomvariables,
often called spins. As such, Q must be an integer. When the partition function is rewritten in terms of
Fortuin-Kasteleyngraphs(hereafterFKgraphs),theparameterQappearsintheBoltzmannweightasQNc
whereNc isthenumberofFKconnectedcomponentsintheconfiguration. Inthisformulation,thecondi-
tionthatQbeanintegermayberelaxed. Onethengetsaone-parameterfamilyofmodels,usuallystudied

The paper is organized as follows. In the next three sections, we study the following three limits: of
π({1,0})whenτ = iτi andτi → ∞,ofπ({a,b})whenτ = dc +iτi withτi → 0andfinallyofπ(H)forany
H⊂Z×ZwhenQ→0. ThelastsectionisdevotedtoMonteCarloverificationsofsomeoftheresults.
2 The probability π({1,0}) in the limit τ = 0, τ → ∞
r i
The first limit to be studied is when τ = iτi with τi → ∞, i.e. the limit when the torus becomes a very
thin ring. The corresponding parallelogram in the complex plane becomes an infinitely tall rectangle of
constantwidthequalto1. Curveswindingoncealongω1 becomeverylikely. Infacttheirrelativelength
with respect to those winding once in the direction ω2 becomes negligible and it is therefore expected
that,inthislimit,allconfigurationswillhavecurvesoftype{1,0}andnoneoftype{0,1}. Inotherwords,
π({1,0}) → 1 and the probability of all other groups goes to 0. What should be the expected behavior of
π({1,0}) for finite but very large τi? Cardy’s formula [5] provides a fair guess. This formula gives, for
percolation,theprobabilityπh ofhorizontalcrossinginarectangleofwidthHandheightV asafunction

for known constants c1 and c2. Even though the intersections of a percolating cluster with the left and
right edges of the rectangle might be in general at different height, these two intersections are likely to

The probability π({1,0}) is given in the form ZQ({1,0})/ZQ. The first step is to express the numerator
anddenominatorinaformsuitabletoextracttheseexponents. From(3):
(cid:88) (cid:114) (cid:88)
ZQ({1,0})= Z0k,1k(g/4)(cos[πe0k]−cos[πk])= |η(q1)|2 4gτ e−π4gτki2(cos[πe0k]−cos[πk]).

Since the function q−1/24η(q) has a Taylor expansion, the above form allows for the identification of the
leading terms in the numerator. Note however that the expansion of |η(q)|2 will not be used, since this

Thedenominator (cid:88)

two leading exponents for the Ising model to 2h1,2 and 2h3,3. Note that, when either r or s is zero, then
hr,s = h−r,−s. Moreover, if half-integer indices are included, the periodicity property can be refined to

These two exponents γ1 and γ2 are related to the fractal dimensions of geometric objects, namely the

We have identified a torus with its modulus τ, a complex number in the upper-half plane H. As it is
well-known, this correspondence is not unique, since any pair ω1(cid:48) = mω1 +nω2 and ω2(cid:48) = pω1 +qω2
