Topic: Percolation
Percolation theory is a paradigm to discuss the connectivity or topology of clusters.
The wide range of its application includes penetration of liquid into sponge-like materials, conductivity of impure material, and the propagation of epidemics. It has also been used for astrophysics purposes e.g. in modeling the galaxy formation and as a measure of large scale structure.
I will review the basics of percolation theory and its applications.
