Critical properties of various sizes of cluster in the Ising percolation transition

Abstract

It is proposed that the $O(n)$ spin and geometrical percolation models can help to study the QCD phase diagram due to the universality properties of the phase transition. In this paper, correlations and fluctuations of various sizes of cluster in the Ising model are systematically studied. With a finite size system, we demonstrate how to use the finite size scaling and fixed point behavior to search for critical point. At critical point, the independency of system size is found from skewness and kurtosis of the maximum, second and third largest cluster and their correlations. It is similar to the Binder-ratio, which has provided a remarkable identification of the critical point. Through an explanation of the universal characteristic of skewness and kurtosis of the order parameter, a possible application to the relativistic heavy-ion collisions is also discussed.
