Abstract

Let pc(Qn)p_c(\mathbb{Q}_n) and pc(Zn)p_c(\mathbb{Z}^n) denote the critical values for nearest-neighbour bond percolation on the nn-cube Qn={0,1}n\mathbb{Q}_n = \{0,1\}^n and on Zn\Z^n, respectively. Let Ω=n\Omega = n for G=Qn\mathbb{G} = \mathbb{Q}_n and Ω=2n\Omega = 2n for G=Zn\mathbb{G} = \mathbb{Z}^n denote the degree of G\mathbb{G}. We use the lace expansion to prove that for both G=Qn\mathbb{G} = \mathbb{Q}_n and G=Zn\mathbb{G} = \mathbb{Z}^n, p_c(\mathbb{G}) & = \cn^{-1} + \cn^{-2} + {7/2} \cn^{-3} + O(\cn^{-4}). This extends by two terms the result pc(Qn)=\cn1+O(\cn2)p_c(\mathbb{Q}_n) = \cn^{-1} + O(\cn^{-2}) of Borgs, Chayes, van der Hofstad, Slade and Spencer, and provides a simplified proof of a previous result of Hara and Slade for Zn\mathbb{Z}^n.
