Low-dimensional sandpile toppling-probability exponent

Let ν\nu be the infinite-volume sandpile measure on {0,1,,2d1}Zd\{0,1,\ldots,2d-1\}^{\mathbb{Z}^d}, let Avo={xZd:n(o,x;)>0}\mathrm{Av}_o=\{x\in\mathbb{Z}^d:n(o,x;\cdot)>0\} be the avalanche set generated by adding a particle at the origin, and let x|x| denote distance from the origin. Toppling-probability exponent conjecture. For 2d42\le d\le4, there exists η=η(d)0\eta=\eta(d)\ge0 such that

ν[xAvo]=1xd2+η+o(1)as x.\nu[x\in\mathrm{Av}_o]=\frac{1}{|x|^{d-2+\eta+o(1)}}\qquad\text{as }|x|\to\infty.

This conjecture extends the known high-dimensional bounds for the probability that xx topples and parallels the corresponding percolation exponent relation. Its status in dimensions 2d42\le d\le4 is open.
