By bootstrap percolation we mean the following deterministic process on a graph G. Given a set A of vertices "infected" at time 0, new vertices are subsequently infected, at each time step, if they have at least ∈ N previously infected neighbors. When the set A is chosen at random, the main aim is to determine the critical probability p c (G, r) at which percolation (infection of the entire graph) becomes likely to occur. This bootstrap process has been extensively studied on the d-dimensional grid [n] d : with 2 ≤ r ≤ d fixed, it was proved by Cerf and Cirillo (for d = r = 3), and by Cerf and Manzo (in general), that p c ([n] d ,r)=Θ(1/log (r-1) n) d-r+1 , where log (r) is an r-times iterated logarithm. However, the exact threshold function is only known in the case d = r = 2, where it was shown by Holroyd to be (1 + o(1)) π 2 18 log n. In this paper we shall determine the exact threshold in the crucial case d = r = 3, and lay the groundwork for solving the problem for all fixed d and r.
