Directed Percolation and Generalized Friendly Random Walkers
We show that the problem of directed percolation on an arbitrary lattice
is equivalent to the problem of m directed random walkers with rather
general attractive interactions, when suitably continued to m = 0 .
In 1 + 1 dimensions, this is dual to a model of interacting steps on a
vicinal surface. A similar correspondence with interacting self-avoiding
walks is constructed for isotropic percolation. [Ref.: PLR 82 , 2232]
