Abstract:
This thesis deals with universal properties of two-dimensional percolation. We expand the field-theoretical approach to study cluster connectivites both at the critical point and in the scaling region around it in. Relevant results include a complete field theoretical determination of the amplitude ratios and a conjecture for the structure constants of the order parameter. The latter is based on the analytic continuation of the Dotsenko-Fateev structure constants and suggest an interpretation for Al. Zamolodchikov's Imaginary Liouville three-point function in the context of statistical mechanics.
