A lower bound for $p_c$ in range-$R$ bond percolation in two and three dimensions

Probability 2016-03-15 v1

Abstract

We use the connection between bond percolation and SIR epidemics to establish lower bounds for the critical percolation probability in 22 and 33 dimensions as the range becomes large. The bound agrees with the conjectured asymptotics for the long range critical probability, refines results of M. Penrose, and complements results of van der Hofstad and Sakai in dimensions greater than 66.
