Possible crossover of a nonuniversal quantity at the upper critical dimension.

We report on a possible crossover of a nonuniversal quantity at the upper critical dimensionality in the field of percolation. Plotting recent estimates for site percolation thresholds of hypercubes in dimension 6 < or =d < or =13 against corresponding predictions from the Galam-Mauger (GM) formula p(c) = p(0) (d-1) (q-1) d(b) for percolation thresholds, a significant departure of p(c) is observed for d > or =6 . This result is reminiscent of the crossover undergone by universal quantities in critical phenomena. For bond percolation, evidence of such a crossover of dimensionality would require an improvement of the GM formula to reach a relative error of typically 0.2%, while it is currently at 0.9% for hypercubes.
