Abstract

In this note we consider site percolation on a two dimensional sandwich of thickness two, the graph Z2×{0,1}. We prove that there is no percolation at the critical point. The same arguments are valid for a sandwich of thickness three with periodic boundary conditions. It remains an open problem to extend this result to other sandwiches. "Note added in proof: This extension has recently been accomplished in arXiv 1401.7130."
