Narrow Results

We study percolation as a critical phenomenon on a random multifractal support. The scaling exponent β related to the mass of the infinite cluster and the fractal dimension of the percolating cluster d_f are quantities that have the same value as the ones from the standard two-dimensional regular lattice percolation. The scaling exponent ν related to the correlation length is sensitive to the local anisotropy and assumes a value different from standard percolation. We compare our results with those obtained from the percolation on a deterministic multifractal support. The analysis of ν indicates that the deterministic multifractal is more anisotropic than the random multifractal. We also analyze connections with correlated percolation problems and discuss some possible applications.
