Sharp asymptotics and monotonicity conjecture for three-dimensional anisotropic bootstrap percolation

Let pp be the initial occupation probability, and let La,b,cth(p)L_{a,b,c}^{th}(p) denote the threshold length for the three-dimensional (a,b,c)(a,b,c) model. Let fa,b(1/p)f_{a,b}(1/p) be the function specified in the paper's main theorem, and let Ca,b,cC_{a,b,c} be a model-dependent constant.

Three-dimensional threshold conjecture. There is a constant Ca,b,cC_{a,b,c} such that

lnlnLa,b,cth(p)=Ca,b,cfa,b(1/p)+o(fa,b(1/p)).\ln\ln L_{a,b,c}^{th}(p)=C_{a,b,c}f_{a,b}(1/p)+o\bigl(f_{a,b}(1/p)\bigr).

If aaa'\geq a, b>bb'>b, and ccc'\geq c, then

lnlnLa,b,cth(p)lnlnLa,b,cth(p).\ln\ln L_{a',b',c'}^{th}(p)\geq\ln\ln L_{a,b,c}^{th}(p).

The paper's main result determines the order of lnlnLa,b,cth(p)\ln\ln L_{a,b,c}^{th}(p) up to multiplicative constants, but does not establish these sharp asymptotics or the asserted monotonicity in general.
