Flat-band ferromagnetism is a special case of magnetism due to correlated itinerant electrons in a number of geometrically frustrated lattices. We develop an exact mapping between ground states of this many-body problem and a novel site-percolation problem. This allows us to study the ferromagnetic transition using tools from equilibrium statistical physics. In the case of the Hubbard model on the Tasaki lattice, we provide a complete analytical treatment of the 1D case and show that for D > 1, the paramagnetic phase persists beyond the usual threshhold for uncorrelated percolation point. When the transition to an unsaturated ferromagnetic phase finally occurs, it is in the form of a first-order jump to an unsaturated ferromagnetic phase.
