Zero-temperature Glauber dynamics fixation-threshold conjecture

Let (ξt)t0(\xi_t)_{t\geq 0} be zero-temperature Glauber dynamics on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d, and define

p~c(d)=inf{p0:Pp[limtξt(0)=1]=1}.\tilde{p}_c(d)=\inf\{p\geq 0:\mathbb{P}_p[\lim_{t\to\infty}\xi_t(0)=1]=1\}.

Here p~c(d)\tilde{p}_c(d) is the threshold for fixation at opinion 11. Fixation-threshold conjecture. For any d2d\geq 2,

p~c(d)=12.\tilde{p}_c(d)=\frac{1}{2}.

The one-dimensional value is p~c(1)=1\tilde{p}_c(1)=1, while for d2d\geq 2 it is known that p~c(d)(0,1)\tilde{p}_c(d)\in(0,1) and that p~c(d)12\tilde{p}_c(d)\to\frac{1}{2} as dd grows. The conjecture remains open.
