Abstract
We consider the spin quantum Hall transition which may occur in disordered superconductors with unbroken spin-rotation symmetry but broken time-reversal symmetry. Using supersymmetry, we map a model for this transition onto the two-dimensional percolation problem. The anisotropic limit is an supersymmetric spin chain. The mapping gives exact values for critical exponents associated with disorder averages of several observables in good agreement with recent numerical results.
