Cardy's formula in Carleson's version for critical percolation

Let DD be a simply connected domain in the complex plane, and let a,b,c,xa,b,c,x be boundary points in counterclockwise order. Suppose that DD is conformally equivalent to the equilateral triangle ABCABC, with a,b,ca,b,c mapped respectively to A,B,CA,B,C and xx mapped to X[CA]X\in[CA]. Consider critical percolation on lattice approximations of DD, with mesh tending to zero. Cardy's formula, Carleson's version. In the scaling limit, the probability of an open crossing in DD from the boundary part (ab)(ab) to the boundary part (cx)(cx) is

CXCA.\frac{CX}{CA}.

This is the conformally invariant crossing-probability formula predicted by Cardy and reformulated geometrically by Carleson. Smirnov's theorem establishes this formula for critical site percolation on the triangular lattice; the source presents the statement in the context of the resulting conformal invariance.
