Voronoi chains, blocks, and clusters in perturbed square lattices

Abstract
Perturbed lattices provide simple models for studying many physical systems. In this paper we study the distribution of Voronoi chains, blocks, and clusters with prescribed combinatorial features in the perturbed square lattice, generalizing earlier work. In particular, we obtain analytic results for the presence of hexagonally-ordered regions within a square-ordered phase. Connections to high-temperature crystals and to non-equilibrium phase transitions are considered. In an appendix, we briefly consider the site-percolation threshold for this system.
