The density-of-the-closure conjecture for subcritical d53cd53c-bootstrap percolation

About 13 years old · traced to

Let AA be the initially occupied random set in a subcritical d53cd53c-bootstrap percolation model on d5392d539^2, let [A][A] be its closure, and define

D(n)=∣[−n,n]2∩[A]∣∣[−n,n]2∣.D(n)=\frac{\left|[-n,n]^2\cap[A]\right|}{\left|[-n,n]^2\right|}.

Density-of-the-closure conjecture. For every p∈[0,1]p\in[0,1], there exists a constant δ(p)\delta(p) such that D(n)D(n) converges in probability to δ(p)\delta(p) as n→∞n\rightarrow\infty.

The conjecture asserts that sites in the closure should be reasonably well scattered. If true, questions about continuity of δ(p)\delta(p) at p=pcp=p_c and the behaviour of δ(p)−p\delta(p)-p as p→0p\rightarrow0 remain open.
