title: Universal condition for critical percolation thresholds of kagomé-like lattices.
abstract: Lattices that can be represented in a kagomé-like form are shown to satisfy a universal percolation criticality condition, expressed as a relation between P3 , the probability that all three vertices in the triangle connect, and P0 , the probability that none connect. A linear approximation for P3(P0) is derived and appears to provide a rigorous upper bound for critical thresholds. A numerically determined relation for P3(P0) gives thresholds for the kagomé, site-bond honeycomb, (3-12;{2}) lattice, and "stack-of-triangle" lattices that compare favorably with numerical results.
