Abstract: The Hamming graph H(d,n) is the Cartesian product of d complete graphs on n vertices. Let m=d(n1) be the degree and V=nd be the number of vertices of H(d,n). Let pc(d) be the critical point for bond percolation on H(d,n). We show that, for dinmathbbN fixed and noinfty, �egin{equation*} p_c^{(d)}= dfrac{1}{m} + dfrac{2d^2-1}{2(d-1)^2}dfrac{1}{m^2} + O(m^{-3}) + O(m^{-1}V^{-1/3}), end{equation*} which extends the asymptotics found in cite{BorChaHofSlaSpe05b} by one order. The term O(m1V1/3) is the width of the critical window. For d=4,5,6 we have m3=O(m1V1/3), and so the above formula represents the full asymptotic expansion of pc(d). In cite{FedHofHolHul16a} st{we show that} this formula is a crucial ingredient in the study of critical bond percolation on H(d,n) for d=2,3,4. The proof uses a lace expansion for the upper bound and a novel comparison with a branching random walk for the lower bound. The proof of the lower bound also yields a refined asymptotics for the susceptibility of a subcritical ErdH{o}s-R'enyi random graph.
