Abstract

We consider percolation on the graph of the product of a regular tree T with degree d and the line , in which each tree edge is open with probability 1 – exp(–JTß) and each line edge is open with probability . Let C(o, 0) be the open cluster for . Denote by θ (β) the percolation probability. Here we show that θ (β) is continuous when ß > ßc, where ßc = sup{ß : θ(β) = 0}.
