Abstract We use the lace expansion to prove an infra-red bound for site percolation on the hypercubic lattice in high dimension. This implies the triangle condition and allows us to derive several critical exponents that characterize mean-field behavior in high dimensions.

1 Introduction 1.1 Site Percolation on the Hypercubic Lattice We consider site percolation on the hypercubic lattice Zd , where sites are independently occupied with probability p ∈ [0, 1], and otherwise vacant. More formally, for p ∈ [0, 1], Zd we consider the probability space (, F , P p ), where  = {0, 1} , the σ -algebra F is generated by the cylinder sets, and P p = x∈Zd Ber( p) is a product-Bernoulli measure. We call ω ∈  a configuration and say that a site x ∈ Zd is occupied in ω if ω(x) = 1. If ω(x) = 0, we say that the site x is vacant. For convenience, we identify ω with the set of occupied sites {x ∈ Zd : ω(x) = 1}. Given a configuration ω, we say that two points x  = y ∈ Zd are connected and write x ←→ y if there is an occupied path between x and y—that is, there are points d x = v0 , . . . , vk = y in Zd with k ∈ N0 := N∪{0} such that |vi −vi−1 | = 1 (with |y| = i=1 |yi | the 1-norm) for all 1 ≤ i ≤ k, and vi ∈ ω for 1 ≤ i ≤ k − 1 (i.e., all inner sites are occupied). Two neighbors are automatically connected (i.e., {x ←→ y} =  for all x, y with |x − y| = 1). Many authors prefer a different definition of connectivity by requiring

both endpoints to be occupied as well. These two notions are closely related and we explain our choice in Sect. 1.4. Moreover, we adopt the convention that {x ←→ x} = ∅, that is, x is not connected to itself. We define the cluster of x to be C (x) := {x} ∪ {y ∈ ω : x ←→ y}. Note that apart from x itself, points in C (x) need to be occupied. We also define the expected cluster size (or susceptibility) χ( p) = E p [|C (0)|], where for a set A ⊆ Zd , we let |A| denote the cardinality of A, and 0 the origin in Zd . We define the two-point function τ p : Zd → [0, 1] by τ p (x) := P p (0 ←→ x). The percolation probability is defined as θ ( p) := P p (0 ←→ ∞) = P p (|C (0)| = ∞). We note that p → θ ( p) is increasing and define the critical point for θ as pc = pc (Zd ) = inf{ p > 0 : θ ( p) > 0}. Note that we can define a critical point pc (G) for any graph G. As we only concern ourselves with Zd , we write pc or pc (d) the refer to the critical point of Zd .
