Abstract

We present evidence for a deep connection between the zero-temperature coarsening of both the two-dimensional time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation and the kinetic Ising model with critical continuum percolation. In addition to reaching the ground state, the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation and kinetic Ising model can fall into a variety of topologically distinct metastable stripe states. The probability to reach a stripe state that winds a times horizontally and b times vertically on a square lattice with periodic boundary conditions equals the corresponding exactly solved critical percolation crossing probability P(a,b) for a spanning path with winding numbers a and b.
