Abstract

A Fortuin-Kasteleyn cluster on a torus is said to be of type , if it possible to draw a curve belonging to the cluster that winds times around the first cycle of the torus as it winds times around the second. Even though the -Potts models make sense only for integers, they can be included into a family of models parametrized by for which the Fortuin-Kasteleyn clusters can be defined for any real . For this family, we study the probability of a given type of clusters as a function of the torus modular parameter . We compute the asymptotic behavior of some of these probabilities as the torus becomes infinitely thin. For example, the behavior of is studied along the line and . Exponents describing these behaviors are defined and related to weights of the extended Kac table for integers, but also half-integers. Numerical simulations are also presented. Possible relationship with recent works and conformal loop ensembles is discussed.
