High-dimensional critical threshold conjecture for GN_k continuum percolation

About 20 years old · traced to

Let αc(k)(d)\alpha_c^{(k)}(d) denote the critical value of the parameter α\alpha for percolation in the GNk(d,α)_k(d,\alpha) model in dimension dd, with integer k≥1k\geq 1. High-dimensional threshold conjecture. For all k≥1k\geq 1,

αc(k)(d)→1as d→∞.\alpha_c^{(k)}(d)\to 1\quad\text{as }d\to\infty.

The result is known for k=2k=2; the conjecture extends the stated high-dimensional limit to every fixed connection rank kk.
