Self-dual planar hypergraphs and exact bond percolation thresholds

Recent research on percolation has led to the construction of an infinite class of lattices for which the percolation thresholds can be determined exactly. We discuss the mathematical basis for the solutions of bond percolation models, and, in particular, attempt to address some misconceptions that might arise from the seminal articles by Ziff and Scullard. As one consequence, we show that there exist infinitely many real numbers $a \in [0,1]$ for which there are infinitely many lattices that have bond percolation threshold equal to $a$.
