An upper bound on the critical percolation probability for the three- dimensional cubic lattice (Q1059939)

The authors prove that the critical probability of percolation on the 3- dimensional cubic lattice is strictly less than \(1/2\). To prove this inequality a method of comparison of critical probabilities for different lattices is used, as well as some modification of Kesten's method. The technique of the work admits a generalization to the 3-dimensional Ising model.
