Percolation and Disordered Systems 277<br />

Fig. 13.3. The interior edges I of Γ are marked in the leftmost picture, and the dual<br />

Id in the centre picture (the vertices marked with a cross are identified as a single<br />

vertex). The shifted set I∗ = Id + ( 1 1<br />

, ) is drawn in the rightmost picture. Note<br />

that I∗ ⊆ I ∪ Γ ′ .<br />

Now assume that p = √ q/(1 + √ q), so that p = p d . Then, by (13.41)–<br />

(13.43) and (13.35),<br />

Since each vertex of B (inside Γ) has degree 4, we have that<br />

whence<br />

The number of dual circuits of B having length l and containing the origin<br />

in their interior is no greater than lal, where al is the number of self-avoiding<br />

walks of L 2 beginning at the origin and having length l. Therefore<br />

Now l −1 log al → µ as l → ∞, where µ is the connective constant of L 2 .<br />

Suppose now that q > Q, so that qµ 4 < (1 + √ q) 4 . It follows that there<br />

exists A(q) (< ∞) such that<br />
