The critical-density conjecture for zero-temperature Glauber dynamics on integer lattices

Let pc(G)p_c(G) be the infimum of the densities p[0,1]p\in[0,1] for which zero-temperature Glauber dynamics on GG, started from i.i.d. Bernoulli(p)\operatorname{Bernoulli}(p) opinions, converges almost surely to the all-one configuration. Critical-density conjecture. For every integer d2d\geq 2,

pc(Zd)=12.p_c(\mathbb{Z}^{d})=\frac{1}{2}.

This conjecture concerns the threshold for convergence to the all-one state; the paper notes that pc(Zd)(0,1)p_c(\mathbb{Z}^{d})\in(0,1) for d2d\geq2 and that it tends to 1/21/2 as dd grows, while equality is open.
