title: Exact order-parameter distribution for critical mean-field percolation and critical aggregation.
abstract: We show that the order-parameter distribution for the mean-field percolation at the critical point is the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distribution and that it coincides with the corresponding distribution for a mean-field aggregation process at the critical time. Both processes are known to belong to the same universality class in the sense that they share the same set of critical exponents, but percolation is at the equilibrium while the aggregation is a dynamical critical process. This shows that, in this case, the probability density for order-parameter fluctuations is universal at the critical point of the infinite lattice, independent of the hypothesis of thermodynamic equilibrium.
