Abstract: We consider nearest-neighbor self-avoiding walk, bond percolation, lattice trees, and bond lattice animals on mathbbZd. The two-point functions of these models are respectively the generating function for self-avoiding walks from the origin to xinmathbbZd, the probability of a connection from the origin to x, and the generating functions for lattice trees or lattice animals containing the origin and x. Using the lace expansion, we prove that the two-point function at the critical point is asymptotic to mathitconst.|x|2−d as |x|oinfty, for dgeq5 for self-avoiding walk, for dgeq19 for percolation, and for sufficiently large d for lattice trees and animals. These results are complementary to those of [Ann. Probab. 31 (2003) 349--408], where spread-out models were considered. In the course of the proof, we also provide a sufficient (and rather sharp if d>4) condition under which the two-point function of a random walk on mathbbZd is asymptotic to mathitconst.|x|2−d as |x|oinfty.


In this paper, the asymptotic behavior of the two point functions at the critical temperatures is shown to be \(\text{const}.| x| ^{2-d} \) as \( | x| \to \infty \) for \textit{nearest-neighbor} versions of self-avoiding walk, bond percolation, lattice trees, and lattice animals. The analysis is based on the lace expansion. This work is a continuation of \textit{T. Hara, R. van der Hofstad} and \textit{G. Slade} [Ann. Prob. 31, 349-408 (2003; Zbl 1044.82006)], where similar results were obtained for the \textit{spread-out} versions of those models using the lace expansion. However, the method used in the previous paper does not work for the present subject. So, the author elaborates a new approach.
