Percolation, Renormalization and Quantum Hall Transition

  • Chapter

Summary

In this article, I give a pedagogical introduction and overview of percolation theory. Special emphasis will be put on the review of some of the most prominent algorithms devised to study percolation numerically. The real-space renormalization group treatment of the percolation problem is then discussed. As a rather novel application of this approach to percolation, I will review recent results using similar real-space renormalization ideas that have been applied to the quantum Hall transition.
