Higher-dimensional universality conjecture for critical bootstrap percolation families

From papers

Let U\mathcal U be a critical dd-dimensional family, meaning that its stable directions satisfy the criticality condition, and let Lc(U,p)L_c(\mathcal U,p) be the critical length at initial density pp. For an integer rr, write log(r1)\log_{(r-1)} for the (r1)(r-1)-fold iterated logarithm. Higher-dimensional universality conjecture. There exists r{2,,d}r\in\{2,\dots,d\} such that, as p0p\rightarrow 0,

log(r1)Lc(U,p)=pΘ(1).\log_{(r-1)} L_c(\mathcal U,p)=p^{-\Theta(1)}.

This is proposed as a weaker higher-dimensional analogue of the two-dimensional universality theorem, which gives a precise alternative between single- and doubly-exponential critical lengths. Establishing such a universality result for all critical families in dimensions at least three remains open.
